Hey guys, I finally was able to find someone who was able to remove the back of the Rolex Tudor watch I have. The results are a little surprising and got my Spider-man senses tingling. A little bit of background information for those of you who didn't see the first post.

Canadian Rolex Tudor watch. Est time of manufacture is 1900-1940's (haven't had a solid lead yet) Grandpa probably bought the watch for no more than five bucks at a garage sale ten to twenty years ago in Canada.

Here are the pictures! HELP ME IDENTIFY THIS PLEASE :):)

Inside the caseback is says Rolex
It is scratched with these numbers

B41779

R4925A
R10945A

This one I am not sure about.
60L4089
61 1?20

The movement says:
Tudor
Swiss Made
17 Jewels

Here are the pictures!

Possibly AOK but certainly unusual

The numbers etched inside the case-back are simply records where watchmakers have serviced it over the years.
As an aside - do they still do that ? I've always wondered.

Movement's AOK Tudor but unusual to see it secured by the fold-over tabs. Other Tudor watches using the same movement had the usual screw system - see pic

The very simple style of Rolex stamping inside the case-back is unfamiliar to me too. Anyone else seen it like that before ?
