Looking at this vintage looking Rolex... wanted to get opinions on it, is it real etc... thanks!

Looks real. Not super collectible (it's not an Oyster case, for example), but nice to have the original box (I assume) and paperwork for a 1950s Rolex. Unfortunately the model number is written where the serial number should be.

Thanks! I've seen another Rolex similar model with paper and that one also had the model number instead of a serial number... but no date on that one.

Calibre 1210. Good runner. Nice watch...twistoflex to the bin. Attach leather strap :-)

That's an old school Speidel TwistOFlex bracelet I believe...I haven't seen one of those since my grandfathers. Very cool.

I wonder what the original bracelet that came on that piece looked like. Probably only came with a leather strap from Rolex.
Im not a fan of Speidel bracelets. Probably the most common aftermarket bracelets out there from that era and still available today.

what do you think this ROlex model goes for right now? Couple thousand?
