Trying to date a vintage Oyster Royal

Hi folks,

I'm a recently joined member, I came across the forum whilst trying to solve a mystery.

I recently acquired an Oyster Royal and am at a loss to date it. The case shape seems to be different to any others I've seen online.

While I love watches, I'm far from expert and am coming to dead ends online when trying to figure out the model of the Royal. So I'm hoping some more experienced/knowledgeable folk may be able to point me in the right direction.

I've attached two images, hopefully they upload ok.

Thanks in advance for any help or tips offered.

Sorry, it is a re-cased movement!

Original Rolex Oyster movement dial and hands, but housed in a non-Rolex 9ct gold cushion shaped case.

Thanks Mike, unfortunately your response is as I suspected. I could not find a similar case style online. Would you happen to know how I can date the movement?
