Hi, I posted this over on the Rolex forum, but as it is a vintage I thought you might like to see it also.
I have just received this beauty and have to say I absolutely LOVE it. Clean, simple design. What more could you ask?

It has a Rolex crown with a cross beneath it. Now I have never seen one with this before. Is it unusual?
Any information regarding this would be appreciated.
The previous owner mentioned something to do with this being the reference for the original "deepsea" Rolex. Can anyone elaborate?
Someone on another forum asked me a couple of questions that you might be able to assist me with. Is this a Chronometer movement? I would think that if it was it would have said so on the dial, but can anyone confirm?
Also, is this a bubble back? The back does come out a bit, but then it is flat, so is it a semi-bubble back?
As previously stated any information regarding this is most appreciated :-!
