	What makes them worth naming is the line they open. For forty-seven years, every Rolex that carried "PRECISION" on the dial was doing so as a direct continuation of the segment these two references established in 1937. Prima became Precision; Ultra Prima became Super Precision; the logic stayed the same. The 3003 and 3004 are the point where the naming shifts, and the point where Rolex formally committed to a permanent non-chronometer manual-wind segment alongside the automatic Oyster Perpetual.

	Rolex graded these early movements by regulation level rather than by radically different architecture. Prima, Extra Prima, and Ultra Prima ~~tell you~~ more about adjustment and finishing than about a different movement design.		Rolex graded these early movements by regulation level rather than by radically different architecture. Prima, Extra Prima, and Ultra Prima indicate more about adjustment and finishing than about a different movement design.

	By the mid-1930s the Prima names were giving way to Precision, Extra Precision, and Super Precision. The logic stayed the same: different regulation grades on broadly similar movement architecture, with Precision below full chronometer status.
