That serial number dates it to about 1947. Great find! It would be an amazing watch to get going again but retain that beach patina.

That is the best thing I have read all week. You have to get that restored! How is the movement? :/

Whatever you do, don't send it to Rolex!
They will replace everything and you will lose that patina! Or maybe just send it in... |

Beach Find
Looks like a bubbleback. The dial is a bit puzzling. Dagger indices were often on center sweep seconds dial but haven’t seen them on a dial with subsidiary seconds function. The coronet is larger that usually seen.
Only guessing that it’s a 3132 and if he opens it up, that could be confirmed. Certainly a wonderful surprise for him, I’m sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
