The W range case serial number dates the watch to 1995, with a 28 million movement serial number. Crystal is clear. Original gold Rolex signed crown. Bracelet has minimal stretch and will fit a wrist size up to 7 inches, with 5 sizing adjustments in the clasp and 3 removable links with screw pins.

This watch has some special history for technology, business and computer industry folks. Computer Associates, a famous company in the early computer software business in the 1990s, used to give its male and female employees Rolex Datejust watches. This was one of those limited pieces. The back and the bracelet clasp are both lightly engraved Computer Associates. Keep it as a unique Rolex or the engraving could be polished off easily.
