Working Vintage Watch Found - Unable to Identify Model

[jason01]

I came across a Vintage Rolex but its well used and the serial and model are not legible. It works, missing the bezel and strap. I was told it could be used as parts but I would not mind fixing it up if possible.

Any idea of model or value?

I'd guess it's a mid-60s 5513 with the wrong hands and a missing bezel.

Set of hands and a modern bezel would cost much and you will have a nice vintage watch to wear
Crystal can be polished
Or sell as is and let someone else sort it out
But first take the back off and check the movement

Interesting find

The damage to the numbers etc is from that strange looking bracelet I would assume?

Looks like a 1964 gilt and be c £4-5k IF engravings can be read with a loop - they look like they could be legible to me.

Caseback should be stamped 64/65. Orig crown and period plexi so try and keep:-)

Lot of work to do, but be c £16k with a period/long 5 and bezel, gilt hands and 7206 bracelet, service (about an extra £7-8k to do it all).

I'd be exceptionally pleased to find a 1964 gilt Sub for 4 grand GBP.

Looking at the photos that’s taken a fair beating in its life

True dat. He's unable to identify a Submariner? It even says it on the dial.

Welcome to the Forum.
Interesting find - if you can get to a watchmaker then photos of the movement and the inside of the caseback might help.

Otherwise it's a beater of a watch that appears to have a Sub's dial on it.
