One size, three metals
Every 1908 reference in our catalog has a 39 mm case, so the choice is the metal and the dial. The reference number changes with the metal; the table shows the case of each one, and each reference page lists the dial our catalog records.
New or pre-owned watches
The 1908 references are in production, so they can be bought new as well as pre-owned. With few sales on file, a pre-owned price is harder to judge; compare any asking price with the individual sold prices on the reference page, and see our Rolex cost page for retail where we can cite it.

How do I sell a Rolex 1908?
Find the reference number on the papers, gather the box, papers and receipt, and compare more than one offer. Our sell form takes four short steps, and we review every request.
Where to buy
- Dealers. Choose one that offers a return period and puts the reference, serial and condition in writing.
- Auction houses. Results are public after the sale, and a buyer's premium is added to the hammer price.
- Private sellers. Meet somewhere safe, check the papers against the watch, and pay in a traceable way.
Wherever you buy, have a watchmaker confirm the movement and serial before any return period ends. Each reference page above shows the recent sold prices we have on file, so you can compare an asking price with what the same reference has sold for.
