Icon20 Vintage Viceroy Imperial?

Hi,
This is my first post, and I am VERY new to Rolex watches, so please bear with me.
I have a watch I've ben told is a Viceroy Imperial, yet I cannot find anything similar in either of my reference books, or online. Can anyone help me?
If this is not a Viceroy, then what is it and why? (sorry - told you I was a newbie).









I look forward to hearing your comments.......

there are greater experts in this area, but it is a flat back manual wind oyster in 9k gold. those are not swiss hallmarks maybe british import hallmarks. you have the extra prima movement which is the high grade movement.

Do you have a photo of the outer case back? That should have the case reference and SN.

Thanks for that :-)
I double checked the Glasgow hallmark comment, and you're correct, so that's really helpful.
The SN is 11505 btw....
