Thank you for the answers :-).
From your point of view what is the fair price for this watch (without rolex strap & buckle) ?

looks fine to me , bit of work ant if you can live with a watch you have to wind , it would be a great day to day watch. mind you , a nice leather strap and it would look smart for sundays too.

It looks like a real 12xx manual movement(1225, may be not 100% sure)
Bezel & Crown could have been replaced ...

Hi,
Yes Rolex Paris told me that the bezel and the crown have been replaced (14k Gold bezel) and refused to do the maintenance on it.
Rolex Paris told me that Rolex doesn't do 14k Gold. But I found vintage Rolex with 14k gold on the internet.
Do you know if the value of the watch decrease a lot ?
The watch keeps accurate time for 21h-24h max. Is it ok ?

Thanks,

Bezel is not correct. No big deal. Get a smooth SS and you'll have a perfect watch.

Rolex made a lot of models, and bezels, and bands, and ... in 14K. So yes, Rolex does do 14K.

The value of the watch (as stated above) is about $700. The bezel really makes no difference at all.
