Grandfathers Rolex Submariner Date

So my friend inherited a watch from his grandfather. The watch spend some years hidden in a drawer. Unfortunately I don't really have good pictures, I will try to get some better ones soon. But maybe some of you folks will be able to help me identify the watch.

It might be able to be cleaned up and become a beater watch.

It is not authentic so not too much should be put into making it wearable.

Fake bracelet as well, unsurprisingly.

But apart from that it’s ok. It always seems to be a giveaway when it’s always the first post and it’s something that’s come out of Grandad’s drawer like nobody has ever used that line before
