Description: On September 24, 1920, Wilsdorf registered the Genex trademark, but it appears that this name went unused for several years. Later the Genex Veriflat brand was used, although this particular combination does not appear to have been officially registered. In January 1929, Genex Prince was registered as a trademark. Although the rail bridge is engraved "Prima", it appears to be a standard 15 jewel movement. The watch is housed in a gold case (not shown) bearing the Glasgow Assay Office import hallmarks, denoted by two opposing and angled letters "F" and indicating 9 carat (0.375) gold. The date letter 'f' corresponds to the year of marking, extending from July 1928 to June 1929. It should be noted that the date letter hallmarks were updated when new directors of the Glasgow office were elected at the end of June, which led to their use over two calendar years. The method of attaching the bracelet to the case, with two closely spaced joints, indicates that this watch originally featured a British expandable metal bracelet. The ends of the Britannic bracelet were attached to the watch case using two metal clips, having a very small gap into which the end of the bracelet fit. If the strap was damaged or could not be repaired, the only option for attaching a conventional strap was to affix two metal loops called buckle ends or lug ends to the watch. THIS IS A VERY RARE FIRST ROLEX. VERY FRESH AND IN AMAZING CONDITION. THE WATCH IS MISSING THE Hour Hand and will need to be repaired! I'll probably never meet one of them again.
