Mechanism:
The Rolex 710 is also known as the Gruen 827 and was in fact made by Aegler. It is one of the many movements derived from the Hunter 10 1/2.
Family Notes: In 1926, Hans Wilsdorf introduced the Oyster watch which used a waterproof case, hence the name. He added "Perpetual" to the name when in 1933 he introduced a reliable automatic self-winding watch. Hence the name means "Waterproof, Self-Winding" in Rolex-speak and generally means the watch is water resistant to a depth of 100 meters.
