Early 50s rolex movement part ?

[aeromatic]

My friend has asked me to find out if this part of a rolex movement is a useful part he wants to put for sale on ebay but has no idea on an asking price or if its a /useful part all i know is it has been in his fathers watch bits n pieces for 30 plus years ! most parts are missing ,

 

If anyone can give any advice it will be appreciated ! i have no idea from what model it is from so here are some photos

Appologies if this post is in the wrong section !!

That looks like an early A296 or A260 movement, like Freddy used in his Turn-o-graph build.

Exactly. Circa late 40s through early 60s.

It is difficult to place a value on a partial movement like this, since, as most of us long-timers well know, the sky is the limit when it comes to vintage Rolex. Especially, if the right buyer comes along. But, realistically, as-is, unless you are willing to hold it ad infinitum, I would price it at around $300 & accept anything over $100.
