I'm not sure of the model number, however you might want to get that marker back on the dial. i think it is worth at least $3,500+ Right now.

I'm pretty sure you can PM someone here to find more info. If not, you can prowl around at the Vintage Rolex Forum or Watchuseek.

Hi, If you can either remove the straps carefully with a needle or turn them out the way, you should see a four figure number between the lugs on one side and a six figure number on the other. The four figure number is the watch model number and the six is the watch's unique serial number. You should be able to begin your research with these.

Looks like it might be a 6564 or 6565 from the late 50's.

Looks like the dial was refinished in the past, try contacting Bob Ridley for restoration questions.
