Vintage Rolex

[subscriber4]

Dear Rolex Enthusiasts:
I hope you don't mind, but I just pulled my Rolex out of storage. It runs perfectly!

I'm not sure what I've got, since I bought this watch 40 years ago. Serial number 336705. Is this year 1945 or year 1958??

2 photos are attached.

Thank you for any feedback.

No idea on year, but looks good!

Looks nice, kind of out of focus though.

Try to get the watch in focus, rather than your hand. Move the camera/phone back a bit.

Finger pics with watches never go well together. If you set the watch down, you'll be able to get some very nice photos.

Indeed, if you're using a mobile phone to take the photographs:

1. Put the watch on a table.
2. Pile a few books up (15cm high or so).
3. Put the mobile phone on the books with the camera facing the watch (this should keep it steady).
4. Select the Macro mode if you haven't already.
5. Tap on the screen to focus on a certain point.
6. Take the photograph

1945. Small size manual watch - OK at that time it was normal size men's watch - I would guess about 30mm. Similar to 4220.

Dial has been refinished. Hands are also not original

Agree with everyone else, please provide sharp pictures for additional information - also a picture of the caseback would help too.
