Identify this watch for me please.

A friend of mine emailed me these pictures and wanted to know the model and the approximate age of the watch. Personally I am not even sure if this is genuine or not.. Any help is really appreciated..

From around 1932. As for the model? Find some old 30s Rolex ads and start digging haha

Looks like it might be an old Rolex observatory, neat watch! Probably from mid to late 30's

Thank you all for the responses.. He is trying to get rid of it and I like the watch. Any idea what is a fair price?

Concur - Price's seem all over the place on these older watches. An expert will have to comment.

Around $2000 is fair, if it's an observatory it's more. If its an old prince model they're around $4k running dials not the best on this one, might be a bit less.

Nice watch. I had an observatory I recently sold and it was pretty similar. I with these guys on a 30's model. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...ht=observatory
