I believe it is called the "Submarine".
NOT Submariner. |

Here is an example found on internet.
Difficult to Google since submarine is so close to submariner. |

Help me identify my Rolex
Quote:
It's Rolex submarine, most did not have the name printed in the dial. It's was Rolexes first attempt at a waterproof watch. These were sold to the old British empire particularly Singapore, Burma, India as in the humidity watches rusted in months and dials were damaged by water/humidity ingress constantly. It came in silver, and yellow gold 9 ct, 14ct like yours and its rarest in 18ct case. The design was superseded as the waterproof crown invented and was more practice and long lasting. As the case was opened to wind it daily the soft metals used wore out the threads and the design failed. It's an interesting piece of Rolex history and quite rare. Not sure your dial is original but I can't be sure You don't see many of these around.. Here's my engine turned steel dial version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
