1920s Rolex ???

[Maybo]

Hi , don't know if anyone can help ? A friend of mine has inherited a 1920s ? Art deco ladies Rolex watch
It's gold with a gold expandable strap
Egyptian numerals on face
It also has Rolex on face and alex Clark London ?
I've had a look around on Internet and can find similar watch faces but not the watch
The ones I have found date from 1917 to mid 1920 s
I have some pics but I don't know how to upload them and they aren't great
I know I need to open the back of watch to look at movement and any serial numbers but I'm not very confident
Any help would be much appreciated

You could always start by actually posting a question in English.
It is generally much easier to help someone if you have a vauge idea of what it is they want help with.

Don't be facetious. If you can't read what was typed then I suggest you take up some english lessons.

WTF is it with the mightier than thou PH spelling and grammar police? Get a life.

Where's a smiley holding it's handbag straps and saying "Ooooohhh!" when you need one.
Read the OPs note again. He doesn't state what he wants help with.

I will be facetious if I feel like it. I would ask you not to attempt to dictate what posting style I must use - but that would be hypocritical. For your information, my life - or lack thereof is entirely my own business.

I was merely attempting to suggest to the OP that he told us exactly what he want's help with. Yes, I was being flippant, I do that and I'm not the only one here. If you don't get used to it, you'll get your knickers in a bunch so often that only dogs will be able to hear you wincing.

HTH.

It's potentially a very valuable watch so taking the back off yourself when you don't know how to is a recipe for a disaster. Why don't you just take the watch into a highstreet jeweller selling expensive watches (e.g. Goldsmiths) and ask them if they can identify the watch and give you an idea of it's value.

Rule number one of grammar pedantry. Get your own correct. I'll not go into if / when usage. That'll do for rule number two.

Got me! I'll happily admit that the "in English" was a little harsh. However my point stands. The OP asks for help, but doesn't tell us what he's trying to achieve.

ETA.
Nope, actually I'm not sure that you do have me there. To me that looks like the correct usage of the future conditional. Please do go into if/when usage, I'm unable to see my mistake and more than happy to learn.

It's worth its weight in gold. Literally.
