To ID your watch, I'd check out some vintage watch trader sites like finertimes.com, which carry a large inventory of Rolexes. Another site is timezone.com, which has an excellent Rolex forum moderated by James Dowling, maybe the leading Rolex expert and author of an exhaustive book on the subject.

Earlier Rolexes are getting hard to find parts for, but they were the first really waterproof, self-winding watches. Nice machines before they became big time status symbols. Sounds like you have nice one.
Thank you very much for your help. I will follow your advice to do the search
