1601 ish a very old model.... maybe even 4 decades old. make sure you bling it to a qualified watch maker to check if the movement's functioning well as well as all the parts are original....
i wouldn't spend more than 1~2k on it... serious...

Actually, it's best to bring it to the Rolex Centre to check. I just took my friend's watch to a pawnshop to check for 2nd hand value, then went to Rolex Centre to verify that it's all original before I bought it from him. This is the watch I bought from him, it's actually a boy's/midi model that's very similar to this -

I don't think anyone can give you any kind of definitive figure, just estimates I think. Can't you take the watch to Rolex Centre to verify first? Then, go to a pawnshop that does branded watch and ask for an estimate (they'd probably charge you for the service). I did both becoz I need to know that the watch is ALL original, and the price at which I can unload the watch (should I not want it anymore). Besides, knowing the pawn value price point of the watch help set the selling price of the watch.....at least, that's the logic for me.

BTW, can you reduce the size of your pic? Damn big and not friendly to those with slower net connection.

Hi, thanks for your advise. I'm thinking of wearing the watch, but as you can see, the condition is very bad. Was thinking of bringing to a shop to polish it to make the scratches less obvious, but not sure how much will they charge me and also will those shop people change the parts behind my back when they are doing polishing. Got the watch fr my dad, not sure if it is fake or real, let say go for verfication how much will it cost? And also polishing? Any trusted shop, to be sure that those guys would not change the parts? Pls advise.

Sorry, for all the trouble, i'm not really sure how can i reduce the size, this is my first time posting the pic, and it took me sometime before the pic shows. Sorry for all the trouble, but i'm not sure how do i resize it. Ya thinking of wearing the watch, but no point bring for verfication if they charge 200 t0 300 just for verfications. Was thinking of sending the watch for reconditons, don't know how much it cost. The watch above is cheapest of all rolex right?

At the Rolex Centre, they charge $75 for verification.......I should know becoz I was just quoted that amount when I took my friend's watch for verification. If you should decide to service the watch after verification, then they would forego the verification charge. But be forewarned, service charge can be a bit high.....mine cost me $380.
