World War One Rolex

Hello Everybody - and Happy Christmas!

Today I went to see my Dad and he showed me a great thing passed down the generations from his great grandfather. I believe this watch was bought by him for use in the First World War and would be very grateful for any insight anyone might have about it. It's a terrific piece and I am keen to learn more about it. Thank you in advance!

Wow, very clean specimen of such an old Rolex, if you open the caseback you will see if it's co branded Rolex and W&D or if it's just Rolex. It's either going to have a 7 or 15 jewel movement I believe. If you post pictures of the movement and caseback stampings it will be much easier to date.
