I have never seen a Rolex like that, the movement could be real but I'm thinking the rest is not Rolex.

Reminds me of a Prince model from the 30's but would need better pictures for identification.

Rolex tank style from 1940s could either be a 15 jewel or 17 jewel movement. Could be a Denison gold made case for Rolex price is a bit high.

Looks like it has a Rebberg bridge so definitely the 30's.
