Help to identify this watch, cheers.

[Palpuppyfood]

Hi all, I have this vintage Rolex as part of a deceased estate and would like some help identifying it. I have looked through the net endlessly and thankfully came across this site and am facinated by the number of Rolexs made over the years. Hopefully I can attach some photos but to my layman eyes it is the following,

Gold I believe with gold braided band.
Marked Rolex, Oyster Perpetual
Officially Certified
Chronometer. I don't see any other words on the dial.
There is no marking on the base at all.
It is quite heavy and the second hand moves smoothly. I think that it's a genuine watch but would love to know what model or year. Many thanks Mal.

Pd having trouble posting multiple photos.

[Palpuppyfood]

[Palpuppyfood]

Perhaps this might work,

Not really, it's still a fake.

[Palpuppyfood]

A bit closer but if it's a fake it's still looks nice, thanks anyway.

[Palpuppyfood]

On from the back.

This pic looks much better then the first you posted which I enlarged.

I might have to revise my first opinion.

Look at the coronet on the enlargement.

How many mm across is it? Looks real enough to me....late 1950s, judging from the text on the dial.

Should be a serial and model number on the case sides if you remove the bracelet.

[Palpuppyfood]

Yeah, I've downloaded a resizing app. Amazing what the net has to offer. The coronet looks to be a 5 fingered image. Other than taking the back off, is there anything else I should look for that may confirm its a fake or otherwise Cheers.

Thanks what should I measure, the glass face, the body or the body plus the winder?

Just the body, but the main thing is the two sets of numbers on the sides. Use a cocktail stick or paperclip to remove the bracelet.

[Palpuppyfood]

I think it's 33 mm accross the body. I have removed the band and cannot see any numbers whatsoever.

Have you checked both sides?

You might need to use a loupe or a magnifying glass.

[Palpuppyfood]

Yes I have.

Then your next step would be to take the caseback off to confirm the movement.

[Palpuppyfood]

Okay not confident enough to do that, don't even know where to start so will take it to a jeweller and see what it offers, will post up whatever it says, thanks for all your responses and help, cheers.

When I noticed the raised crystal, thought it may the real.

Took it to two jewellers today who couldn't help, apparently they don't have the tools. Have been advised to take to Sydney so will let you know the results.
