Unsolved Case

I bought this case the other day as i liked the look of it - can anyone tell me if it perhaps was a saleman case of some form? Perhaps it was a window display? It looks fairly old. There is just plywood inside. Many thanks.

I have no idea but it looks like it could have been a sales reps case for demo's.

It could have been used for literally anything,the Rolex logo doesn`t mean it had anything to do with Rolex.

I think your case is going to remain unsolved.

X2

Anything unique about the inside of the case, or does it look like just another suitcase?
