While perusing a local pawn shop I discovered this women's Rolex Watch & Case. The case is burgundy imitation leather (skate?)(worn through in a few spots), with gold scrollwork (now discoloured), a red velvet cushion (some areas worn to fabric), a cream coloured silk back & liner ring. The watch says Rolex Tudor & Swiss Made, is marked as 14 kt. The crystal only has one small scratch, the gold has minor wear, the band & clasp very well cared for. The face shows some of it's age with some patina or oxidization especially around the numbers. It needs repair I was told, which I will look into soon. If anybody knows more information about this watch I would appreciate. The watch & case look like they come from the 40's or 50's
