Vintage Watch Help - Who Knows About This One

[jlevitt9]

Rolex Forum Crew,

Longtime lurker, first-time poster. While this site has taught me so much about the Rolex brand and the intricacies about it, I'm hoping I can turn to you for insight about this recently unearthed watch.

It belonged to my grandfather and was in our safe deposit box. Best guess is it's from the late 50's or early 60's.

Couldn't find this exact model anywhere on the web. Any insight you can provide? There is a small number on the caseback but it's blank otherwise.

Thank you!

Josh

PS - Like all newbies of course my first photo post is sideways

the TURLER smells like a Swiss jeweller shop

Interesting! So Turler could be the shop it was sold from, or an exclusive run for that shop? Seems wild it would be on the dial.

Guess it was "a thing" back half a century ago, when ppl cared if you bought it from a poshy store

you not know of the "Tiffany" stamped Rolex dials? They can add a few bucks to resale value...

no idea on TURLER though, it's just what Google barfed up

At least your grandpa buys from jewellery store mine goes shopping in a department mall

I sent the Turler shop an email to uncover more

The Tiffany stamped Rolex are unreal. This one is worth just a touch less ;)
