Rolco watch help

[oldoakknives]

Hi all, just wondering if the TZ hive mind can help with any information on this watch. Unfortunately I only have the one photo to go on.
Any info/links would be appreciated as my Google-fu is weak this evening!
Cheers.

Rolco was a Wilsdorf Brand, much like Tudor is.
This is probably 9ct Gold, and will most likely be hallmarked for gold from a UK Assay Office (they used a few different ones - Birmingham, Glasgow etc). The Only Rolex signing is likely to be the RWC Ltd (Rolex Watch Company Ltd) on the inside of the case.
It will be a bought in movement, possibly slightly tweeked to be a Rolco one (rather than immediately identifiable as a third party one), and most likely signed Rolco on the ratchet wheel.
Nice little thing.
Hirsch strap

ps - 1920s I think, the brand wasn't used for very long

Rolco name was registered circa 1927, and with that case style I would say 1930's.

That may also be a Dennison case ? Hard to know without opening. You can date the watch from the hallmark.
