Any thoughts on this one? Seller is listing it as a 'Rolex Oyster Raleigh' I'm getting better with vintage references, but this is from an earlier era and way more niche than my limited skillset. Needs a new crystal and I'd definitely have it serviced, but any input would be much appreciated.

Dunno much about that except I think it'd be too small for regular wear, the watches from that era are typically <34mm

OP, you might want to give a shout-out to the good folk at VRF (Vintage Rolex Forum). Good folk and quite knowledgeable.

That's a Canadian/Commonwealth market Rolex watch from the 1940s. Most of them are small sized (30 - 32 mm).

Serviceable watch, definitely collectible, fun to own. But don't overpay.
