Help with understanding what Sub I have

I have recently inherited this Rolex Sub. It has no box/papers. All I know is that its from the mid 1960s. Would anyone be able to tell me if its a guilt dial, or any more info about condition and what it may be worth?

I would suggest popping the bracelet off and reading the serial numbers behind them, may need a magnifying glass. Search google for a Rolex serial decoder.

You can have someone tell you what you have but in my experience it gives you that can't sleep at night feeling when you are doing it yourself!

Dial does not look to be gilt. Hands and insert appear to be service. As mentioned above, it would be good to have the numbers between the lugs at 6 and 12 o'clock.

Service hands, crown, and insert.
Likely a meters first.

Can you take a clean, head on shot of the dial?
