It’s was opened up by at watch specialist. It’s has markings from when it was services. They confirmed its it’s all original

 

I’d head over the Vintage Rolex Forum if I were you, and post those detailed photos...

Where did you get it and paid you for it?

 

Inherited...

 

Yes inherited it from grandfather it’s been kept safe in a drawer for 40+ years hence it’s outstanding condition

Thank you very much

 

Try taking it to a reputable auction house with a reasonable turnover in watches — most of them run free valuation services.

 

Shame you can't keep it in the family for 40 more years.

Yes I will look into that I work in central London so fairly easy to take it along to one. Thank you

 

We have thought about but just won’t get the love that someone/ a collector
Would give it. Even if restored I wouldn’t wear this style. I have daughers too but totally different story if I had a son.

 

Maybe your daughters would like it! My two daughters, even though they are 8 & 3, love trying my pieces on.

 

There is a Rolex Sub Forum here and a lot of us are Rolex collectors.

 

I know that. And if I had a rare Rolex, I would ask you fellas about it.

 

There is a collector out there with a bezel and the funds to buy this and set it right. I would most certainly get multiple opinions. Person who offered you 10k should be flogged. I hope it was not someone you consider a friend.

 

Thank you I did exactly that. Thank again

 

Thank you no it wasn’t a friend a supposed professional but I got that wrong too...........

 

Yes I know but I saw a post about this model in here so thought I would try her me as well......

 

Well the point being is to sell this piece to buy some of the ones that are more to my taste.....then my daughter will have those ones well that the plan anyway.......
