Can someone help me identify this rolex oyster perpetual?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/68611465@N05/

took a bunch of pics there,
hoping some of the people with more experience here could help identify.
the #'s on the watch are very hard to see..to me it looks like they read
"943977", however when i do a search for rolex with those #'s it comes back with nothing.

any help would be appreciated
thank you

If I could see the movement or case back inside you should have your answer. Rikki

thanks for the reply rikki, by movement do you mean the movement of the hands of the watch or is that referring to opening the back as well?

The movement means the movement (or "engine") of the watch. One must open the case back to see it.
