Can anyone help to identify this watch?

Hi Everyone,

I came across this watch and I have no idea what is its. It first I wasn't sure it was authentic till I popped the back of.

Does anyone know what it is or its value? (Mods: I'm not asking as a presale. THX)

Thanks,
Arron

Odd,

A Rolex that has a 1962 presentation date with a pop back and a case that is gold plated, ??????????????????? very uncertain with this, cant wait to see what the experts make of it, could be a lucky find... I wish you well, Rgds "H"

Its a early 1960s what they call a presentation model with the cal 1520 movement as for value around $1500.

More valuable than most because of the movement.

Absolutely. The old one broke, and the owner went down the local jewelry store, bought a $20 replacement, and carried on living his life (always knowing what was the time).

Rsc

Get it down to the RSC for service. Get it in writing they do not touch dial, hands, case. Service that movement. As long as dial is original it looks good. I don't know about vintage so not sure on how to assess the dial.

I serviced one. Someone had actually put a screw down case tube on it. Totally non functional. This one had an original dial. In fact I've got another case just like it that someone put a case tube and crown in.
