Rolex Commando


...Rolex Studio Shot Of The Day...

Rolex Commando
[Reference 6429: 34.5mm Diameter]

Lorenzo's Rolex Commando is pictured below, and it is an unusual and very rare watch. Not much is known about the origin of the Rolex Commando model. Apparently they were sold by Abercrombie & Fitch, and there has been other speculation that it was only sold in the U.S. and Canadian market. They are manual wind watches and it appears they were made and sold between 1967 and 1972. A Rolex commando recently sold in 2010 at Christie's Auction house for $25,000.
