This was left to me by my grandfather. I believe it is circa 1967. It hasn't been worn in 25+ years. Being a watch n00b I know nothing about it. I plan on having a full cleaning done in the new year so I can begin to wear it. The only other thing I need for it is a new strap. The case of the watch looks to be in amazing shape (compared to some other vintage watches I have seen).

Thanks for reading and now for the pics (cell phone ones):

Can you tell me about it or maybe direct me to where I can read up on the history of this era?

Nice classic. A good affordable basic general reference book is dowling and Hess: Rolex the best of time.

You have your grandfather's watch. You are very lucky. I am thinking about giving my father in law a watch so that he could give it to my son someday.

That would be very thoughtful and the memory that it would pass on I am sure would mean the world to your son...
