Icon7 Anyone have an idea as to what year and model this watch is?



This was my dad's great-grandfather's watch. I can't find any information on it over the web. Figured I would see if any of you would know. Thanks for any input!

No idea, sorry, but I still love it!

Good luck finding the provenance of your well loved watch!

Bubbleback from the late 30's early 40's my guess.

Lovely Bubbleback. I would recommend a servicing and a "New" original Rolex dial.

What is the watch worth? When was it made? I may sell it.

Nah.



Depends on how under the hood looks. Since the dial has been wrecked/refinished, it de-values it quite a bit. I would say $800-1000 USD
