Grandmother's old Rolex. Good news and Bad news..

I found my grandmother's Rolex while going through some old things, we thought it had gone missing for over 8 years now! The bad news is it has some water damage, and might cost more to repair than the watch is even worth... If anyone has any experience repairing a water damaged movement i'd love to hear your story!

I don't know much about the watch itself, what year or model it is, but i'll send it off to Rolex in the new year and find out what I can and at least get a quote on a repair, I know my wife would love to have it in working condition.

Here are some pictures of the watch:







Strange not seeing the "Crown" on the crown.


Seems to be an authentic Rolex movement? Just wanted to make sure before I send it off. Looks like the water damage is pretty bad, hopefully it can be repaired.

Another interesting thing is the bracelet is soldered right onto the case. Seems strange to me to not be able to change the bracelet.
