Rolex

Hello Rolex enthusiasts,

My 93 year old grandfather passed away a few weeks ago, bless him. He left me this Rolex that my Mother says he has had  as long as she can remember. Can somebody please tell me the approximate year of this piece, model, and approximate value.

Regards,

Frazer

Prices or values only by PM please.
