Ouch! Ugly duckling!!

The watch does appear to be a genuine 1940's Rolex Precision manual wind watch, but the dial has been poorly refinished. The watch is not an Oyster Perpetual, and the quality of the dial lets the watch down. However, all is not lost, and a vintage watch restorer could have the dial refinished to a much higher standard.

The winding crown is also a replacement, again, easily rectified.

Can be made into an elegant swan for not too much investment.
