I own a vintage Rolex which was inherited from my grandfather, I believe from the 1930s or 1940s. It keeps perfect time and is in good shape considering its age, but I have no information on the model or it's rarity.

I believe the gold band is aftermarket since it does not have a Rolex marking. The leather band and box both appear to be original.

Anyone who can help me identify this watch would be greatly appreciated, and before anyone asks, I'm not interested in selling it.

Thanks in advance!

I'd peg value in the low 2s for 14k and in the mid to high 2s for 18k PLUS the scrap value of the bracelet. You may have a case reference # stamped on the insides of the case back, but it will most likely not have a model name.
