Rolco Watches

[musicman1956]

My partner has inherited a Rolco watch. It is square and the dial is art-deco ish with blue metalic fingers and a normal set of digits on the face rather than Roman or just lines. At the 6 o'clock position there is a second hand. There are some numbers on the back in 2 rows which may indicate model and serial number, (309060/1947) we are assured it is not the age. The mechanical movement is a Rolex "Unicorn" one. I've checked the 'net and it seems that Rolco was a brand owned but not used extensively by Rolex in the first third of the 20th centuary. After that there is no information forthcoming. Anyone able to help. She doesn't want to sell it, merely get some information and track it. A local watchmaker repaired the movement and it now runs like.....well clockwork.

Lots of very knowledgeable people with Rolex experience here http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1 will need pictures though to give any real opinion.
