I received a Rolex Tudor as a gift in 1965 (that pretty much dates me). The watch was new and yet it came from a jewellery store that may have held old stock for some time. It says Tudor Oysterdate on the front top, above where the "6" would be it indicates Shock Resistant and below where the "6" would be it indicates Swiss. The back of the watch indicates original oyster case by Rolex Geneva. It is a wind watch (not self wind) and has a Rolex emblem stamped on the winding stem. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Question: Is any one able to help me determine the year and model of Rolex this may be? Thanks.

Take the bracelet off and check the numbers between the lugs - it can give you an idea of date of production at the '6' end, and model number between the top lugs.

Great, thanks. I will have to dig up the old magnifying glass for that tonight.

Can barely even tell that it's a Tudor from that photo. Can you get it in focus please?

Well, it looks about right for the time you received it. Not a lot earlier. As mentioned above, you can find the model number on the side of the case. My guess is 7962.
