No, William Rogers, but maybe you can go to www.timezone.com and ask there.

or www.chronocentric.com it's a little more Omega oriented but it's worth a try.
Also the if you have the serial number Rolex would likely furnish the origianal Chronometer certificate and build date.

...Rolex oyster? That sounds like some fancy invasive species from Europe. If you want real oysters, you want native Olympia oysters from my neck o' the woods:

Or if you want a real shellfish, try our Pacific N.W. geoduck

On "Timezone" you'll find a Rolex forum...
moderated by James Dowling, who did the big Rolex book.
Any question you have they can address there...good luck!

Here's a link to a great Canadian
Rolex site which now, unfortunately, is no longer in business, but a lot of information still remains.
Rolex was a "cult" watch among Brit fliers and others during WWII...the models often shared little with the "modern" Rolex...many were small "boys" models with stemwind rather than automatic movements. You have an interesting watch and an interesting heirloom...enjoy. http://www.northerntime.com
