Hello,

I'm a new member.
I've been buying, restoring, selling, collecting vintage watches for about ten years.

Does anyone know about a ROTARY Super 41 Jewel Automatic Wrist Watch?
It is not running but the balance moves.

I have attached some pics (if I have done it correctly).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! Thom :roll:

It looks like it could be an AS 1580:

Thanks!
Were these produced for an anniversary mark for the Rotary Co.?
I know that the 100J WALTHAM was an anniversary model.

It's an interesting watch. I am planning to restore it.

I've no idea. But if you google 'ROTARY Super 41' a now lapsed ebay listing for an ad comes up which is headed '1960'. Presumably the 1960 was on the magazine page, so a pretty good date indication. I've tried to find this ad - but failed. :-(

If you have a few other interesting watches that you've restored I'm sure we'd like to see 'em. :-!

Hi -

Welcome to the forum! I see that some of the regulars have already replied better than I could. :-)
