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.
