Um, no. It's not "right" at all.

Well, an unmarked watch with a nice story linked to Rolex.

This might or might not be a watch with a Rolex movement, as some of them really weren't marked.

But there should be a marking under the dial identifying the movement as Rebberg if it would be Rolex marketed as a lot of the Rolex movements were bought from Rebberg.

If I have it in mind correctly my oldest gen is from 1924 and there the movements were marked and also dial marking has started but this wasn't used widely until end of the 30s.

Different movement than the "rolex" pictured as the rolly has a 2 position crown where as the one for sale has a pin depress to set the time, shame he does not say how big it is though, I suspect in the 30mm area though.
