REALLY Old "Rolex"...thoughts???

I put Rolex in quotes as this is technically not a Rolex...it's a Hans Wilsdorf / Oyster Watch Co. I don't know much about vintage Rolex and I certainly don't know anything about this...hoping there is someone here with more knowledge about this piece. This is from the original owner's family which was found amongst a handful of other old watches (Timex, Hamilton, etc.). No bracelet and was stored in the leather pouch you see in the pictures. Movement is very clean and the watch works! Can anyone tell me anything about this piece?

Case back inscriptions:

Crown logo with "SAR" beneath

It's an early Rolex. It's quite collectible!
