Hi Lexo,
Yes definitely worth sorting. it looks to have London import markings for 1916, making it possibly a WW1 trench type watch. Good luck!
Jeff.

I'm looking at a similar vintage Rolex (WW1 trench watch) and would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Seller says it runs well, but like all watches this old, it's not 100% accurate -- it loses seconds each day. What do you think would be a fair price?

Thanks,
Dean...

Most likely a converted pocket watch.

Ok thanks. What kind of impact does that have on the value?

Most likely a converted pocket watch.

I'm not so sure. Most converted pocket watches have the small seconds dial at 9:00 or 180* away from the crown. That would have put the small sub dial at 6:00 in the original pocket watch configuration.
