The Ventura… nice.
not sure about the open mech one Roy, feel the shapes enough to make it stand out?
Crackin’ piece though.
Like this black one, would be the one I’d get. The XXL, chunky boy!
Contrast between matt and polished black, along with the shape really gives me the fizz.

On the subject of Elvis watches, how about this one?

It's a little-known fact that Elvis was an incredibly talented engraver in his spare time. No wonder he couldn't find time for a UK tour.

And it's only thirty quid! Probably he needed a sideline where Colonel Tom wasn't able to dip his beak. Did the engraving during all that time he spent on the toilet.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony

"Bloody hell Aaron, what you doing in there, engraving yer will?"
The ones he dropped down the toilet fetch big money these days.

I'm sorted.
Cos it ain't worth a bean mate, who would know it was a Rolex anyway? Looks like every other small vintage gold watch.
They're after the GMTs, Daytonas and Subs of this world not your museum piece.

it’s a nice watch, even better with a good deal!
Is the “waveform” jaggy line lumed?
Is it the 42mm?

Ah, so you like a 'showy' watch. Is it to impress people?
How do people know it's a Rolex? - because they see the Rolex 'crown' on the dial, and on the bracelet clasp.
As to its worth, well I have had it valued, but that's something between me and my insurance company. But then it's not all about money; there are unquantifiable aspects to any possession or gift.
