My Pop's Watch

I was given my grandfather's watch when he passed. He wore it pretty much everyday of his life. I don't know a thing about it other than it is fairly old. Can anyone help with info? I don't know much about Rolexs and what I can do to make sure it lady a lot longer. the serial is actually on the back, not at the 6 o'clock position (figured this out on the Internet). It's 257740. I will try to post pics but the only pics I have are on my phone which is what I am using to post.


Thanks!

Welcome to TRF!

The only thing I can say is that the serial number indicates that the watch is from 1943. You need to post pictures to get more information, and I suggest that you post them in the vintage section.

Best,

A
