Ok, so my dad has been in possession of my grandfathers wristwatch he died (my grandfather) about 15 years ago. I only recently though that it would be worth while doing a bit of research on it because my grandfather obtained it some time during the war. After a little of my own prying I found that this type of Oyster Junior Sport watch was the staple for American and British allied troops during WWII. Only I'm not too sure if this is just an imitation or not. I can't seem to find any official Rolex marking on it so I'm almost sure it's a replica. If anyone can confirm or contest this it would be great help!

Cheers
