Hi all,New to the forum and hoping to get some informattion on a Rolex Osyter royal that i have just bought from a mountain household.
Any ideas as to age and is it a genuine piece.
many thanks

The piece looks genuine, but the dial is an older refinish (not terribly well done). Does the crown screw down? Looks to be from the early 1950s or so, but you can better date it by the serial number (between the lugs at 6:00).

Hi and welcome,your serial number will tell you the age and the model,it is between the lugs at the 6 position as Adam said.
Here are some other Royals to view.
