    Here is an image search on Google for Rolex Ref. 2811.

    I wasn't too sure about this watch at first, due to the "Robot Watch Co" marking and the "0" in front of the serial number. However, I found at least two Ref. 2811 in steel cases at Christie's Auctions that had this leading "0". A good sign. Both steel watches at Christie's sold in excess of $25,000.

    Still not sure about this Robot Watch thing. That would concern be greatly if I was interested in this watch.

    You need someone far more expert in these than I.
