So far I know it is about a 1965 model. Serial number 1359027. It has square crown guards, a small pointer GMT hand and a 7206 bracelet.
I cannot figure out if the dial is matte or gloss.
Was this serial number range born with one or the other? How do I tell the difference? Shiny or not shiny? The pics on line all look the same to me.

According to
http://www.bernardwatch.com/Rolex-Serial-Numbers your serial indicates 1959. The inside of your case back should have a a two digit number (59) next to roman numerals I-IV. The roman numerals signify the quarter the watch was built in 59. I am new to this, but this is the info I have gathered for a few GMT projects I'm trying to start. This site has been amazing. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Please tell me if I am mistaken, and where I can get better information. Thanks.
