pocket watch serial numbers

Hey guys, i would like to get an answer for this question, i have an antique rolex pocket watch british military serial number B7231 as shown, but what iam surprised is that i found on the net just like my pocket watch different dial but has the same serial number, i did some browsing on different rolex pocket watch , and i tracked a serial number for a specific model and then i was able to find the same pocket watch but with the very minor difference, so is this can be true?

Thanks for any input guys here is mine

I'm not sure that is a serial number. Might be an issue number. The serial is on the movement.

The number is an issue number. Apparently the "B" is for backup, see page 8 in:

Seems legit to me. Movement number is hard to read: 548?
