My fathers old Sub
Hi, My father passed recently. He had a few Rolex watches and we found this one in a safe at his home. I am writing this in hopes someone can help me with the year and if it is original or, a Frankenstein version thrown together.
Years ago, I took this to the local Rolex dealer and had it serviced (Blackman Jewelry Newport Beach, CA). They had some information but I forgot it long ago. Here is what I believe to be true. My father was in the Korean War and was on Subs. He eventually became a Navy Commander and retired in the late 1980's. I do not know the year of this watch. I have no idea when he purchased it. My wife says he is wearing it in old photos from the 1960's, I don't know if I see this watch or a different style in the photo. I removed the band to look for a model number, there is not one on the case. I am not looking to sell this watch. I just want more information and possibly to insure if it is of value. Prior to taking to the dealer, I figured I would ask here. You guys are very good at information. I was considering having it restored. However, I just don't know. Mods, I am not looking to sell, just curious on the information I hope to get. Thanks, Bryan Thanks in advance for any information you guys might have. Here are some photos. https://www.amazon.com/photos/album/...T66nxgh6iRlVeQ https://thumbnails-photos.amazon.com...A1SBE1NPBF4DNH https://thumbnails-photos.amazon.com...A1SBE1NPBF4DNH https://thumbnails-photos.amazon.com...A1SBE1NPBF4DNH |
