Does anyone know anything about it?
Authentic, year, type, anything?
Thank you.

Rolex 1500 is what it appears to be to me.

Can we get some better photos and a backstory please

Did you, literally, find it?

Welcome to the Forum

Can you read any reference numbers on the case at the 12:00 and 6:00 o'clock?

There should be engravings on the lugs or inner caseback if you can open it..

Alvin05 · 11 October 2013, 04:22 AM

Yes, literally found in our things in a forgotten bag in storage.
There are no marking on the back of the face.

Someone told me it is a
1960s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Chronometer watch in stainless steel (ref. 1500 / 1002) with a replacement un-branded leather strap.

Any buyers in Southern California?

That watch is going to need a lot of work, it appears as though moisture may have gotten inside the case which could be disastrous.

It's a 1500, I have the same watch. I would get it fixed, cleaned, put a new leather band and wear it... What a story you could tell when it's fixed up nice and on your wrist...
