Help Identifying Rolex "Dinner Watch"

[TanToday]

I have searched the net for weeks trying to find this one anywhere, and have failed. It is ROLEX 14k, inside the rear case the number 3606 is stamped and that seems to be the only identifying number anywhere on the watch.

This was purchased in the USA around 1970 give or take a year, and has been one owner, my father who recently died.

The watch works perfectly, is in very good shape, actually better than the lousy scanned photo's { done on a scanner...I know...I know }...and the strap is functional and original but cracked with age.

So if any of you ROLEX afficianado's can help out a newbie, with the Model of this one, and an approximate value, I would REALLY be most appreciative.

Good site, I wish I had the loot to fly with you guys, talk about expensive hobbies!

My sincere sympathy in the loss of your father. Some of us have had to wait most of our lives to acquire our Rolex watches and mine weren't purchased "new", so it's often more about the struggle than the "loot." Your Rolex is already more of a treasure than mine, because mine hold the memories of people I've never met, while yours holds the memories of someone who loved you. Enjoy it. You're about to discover what a wonderful legacy you have.

Thank you for the welcome gang.

I actually got three pretty nice watches as part of the inheritance. { the death was a year ago, so grieving part is pretty much a thing of the past. }

The Rolex is a 1002, Oyster 14K and I had it professionally serviced by one of the Rolex specialists I found on the net, it is in excellent shape. The second hand is not bent, but it was moving when the scan was taken, and that caused the distortion.

The other one, the Girard Perregaux, is one more ODDBALL that I cannot find anywhere despite trying for days to find something like it online. The shape is odd for a GP, and unlike most of what I've seen they have made, this is a simple dinnerwatch, manual, no date, and rather plain, unlike the complicated chronometers they seem to favor.

So, if anyone can help out identifying this one too, model number, age, and approximate value, I would be most appreciative of.

{Oh, one more thing, I didn't prepare any of these by cleaning etc, just laid them on the scanner, they do, in fact, clean up nicer than shown, and would have done so, if I had the smarts to do that. }

Although made by Rolex is the Cellini Ref: 3606 in 14k for the U.S. market. Other than sentimental value there is not much else, sorry about your father.
