Not a bad pairing Roy. That should do trick [emoji23]
Need a real gold watch to pair with it really (dear santa.... )
Gold plate is fine. I've lots of gold plate, well rolled gold mostly which, although a different method amounts to same. Was very common on higher class pockets to give that rich look without actually paying for it [emoji23]
Nickel was basically the cheap silver and wore better.
With me not getting suit dressed these days they never get an outing. Really aught to sell them
Decent attempt at a Hulk

I like this a lot Roy...love the face...no date so it hasn't any need for that magnified bubble at three o'clock..I'll bet it's heavy too...I like to feel a solid stainless watch on my wrist..and the dial is so easy to read...Rolex hit the nail right on the head with this watch imho....you can't fault it...
It's a watch I wanted for ages Alan and finally managed to buy one for the actual retail price. With the demand for Rolex sports watches I could make a substantial profit if I were to sell it but it's going nowhere. The only reason I might let it go is if I could use it as a part trade against a stainless steel Daytona but they're ridiculous money at the moment.
Last horological purchase of 2020
