Why would you think its Rolex?
No link to Rolex, Movement does not look Aegler.
Dial stamped made in USA?

Is there three tiny letters (import marks) on the balance cock?

I looked up SOLAR in Pritchard's books - no link to ROLEX
I also checked Rolex registered names, again no SOLAR (I could find)

So in my opinion no.
