This looks like a good example of model 6694 and it should clean up well. These were made from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, but judging from the style of the dial and hands i would guess this is somewhere in the middle, maybe late 1960s to early 1970s.
More photos of the dial, hands, case and bracelet would help date it if you can't see a serial number. The chances are this is a genuine Rolex as there was little to no interest in making replicas (fakes) of this model, although it could have had an aftermarket bracelet fitted quite easily. Again, more photos of the movement and bracelet codes would help to identify it further, but it looks to be a very attractive 34mm manual wind watch to me. |

Very nice watch. You have to unscrew the crown and wind it up each day.

Nice watch! If I had the bracelet for mine I'd wear it more, they're very comfortable and understated.

Yup, looks like a 6694 with later service hands and a later bracelet. Hopefully you can read the engravings between the lugs. If they are worn off then most of the resale value will be gone because people will think its stolen.
