Unidentified Rolex

Hi, new to the forums and trying to find some info on a watch I will eventually inherit and cherish from my father. Don’t have any other info than the attached poor photo and the suspicion that the watch would have been bought late 50’s or early 60’s by my father in the far east. Looks like some form of oysterdate precision but the bracelet looks kind of odd. Suspect bought alongside my mothers gold ladies cocktail Rolex watch if that’s the correct terminology - again never seen anything else similar.

A very bad photo. Need clear photos and from different angles. Looks like it may be a gold capped 34mm Oysterdate. Early 1960s based on the dial design. The bracelet looks to be aftermarket. Probably Speidel

Cant give you much more with the single blurry photo

Unclear photo but definitely looks like an old Oysterdate. Try taking from different angles.

Looks to be pretty clearly an old gold-capped 6694. Bracelet is either Spiedel or a lookalike but definitely not Rolex, and that bracelet can be discarded. As for the watch head, these are durable watches, I have one myself, you'll definitely be able to get it up and running when the time comes. Buy a nice 19mm strap to set it off and you're off to the races!
