Rolleis tend to dent pretty quickly. I've seen a lot of them with dented corners.
Signet 35's Synchro shutter is a little limited in my opinion, but you gotta love an Ektar lens
I prefer the 40, myself.

Amazing how everybody simply gushes over a Rollei 35?
It's a small horrible little camera, intricate, fussy, heavy,
no freaking rangefinder, most the meter don't work.
In plain a pain.
I absolutely love mine!
Don't need batteries, no meter.
Mine has grips from numerous gravity tests.
The joy is in the amazing small size.
The Tessar is very contrasty, the Sonnar is sharper.
I have the Tessar.
Very good photos can be achieved.
Enjoy and have great exposures.

I have the Tessar, it is a fine camera. I had better luck using hyperfocal focusing than trying to estimate every shot.
And I agree with Phil regarding the Signet 40, while the triple stroke advance takes a little getting used to, it will produce outstanding images.
