Looks like a manual wind oyster, from your picture, the dial may have been refinished.

It's hard to tell on some of these older soldiers..

This one is either fake or has a badly done dial..

If it can be authenticated, perhaps 500 or 600.. If the dial were replaced with an original, perhaps a couple of hundred more..

If it can't be authenticated, then it's worth scrap.................

Not really, recenly I bought one similar to yours but with a date
(date wheel black/red) and a fancy dial... it was cheap at 800.
Most I can make (if I sell it) will be 300 and that's it.

There are so many around so no rarity involved.

Not always mainly the sports Rolex and some of the rarer models,dont like the dial but it looks like a 1950s style with the folded link bracelet. Get the back off take a picture of movement then we can tell its genuine.
