A follow up to a garage sale leads to two Rolexes, a Sub and a Lady Datejust and lots of gold!

[artslinger]

Hello friends, I scored these two Rolexes from a follow up from a community garage sale. Both already verified authentic from a professional Rolex dealer and watchmaker. The men's is a 1978 5212 and the Lady Datejust is from the 1980s. It is a two tone 18kt and steel all box and papers. The Sub unfortunatrly came with no box or papers. I attribute the scores to following up and asking at every sale! Let me know your thoughts. As always, thank you.

Is that band on the submariner original? My 1969 sub [given to me 54 years ago by my wife as a wedding gift..I gave her a saddle.... She paid $300.00 back then from Birks Jewellers, which, at the time, was a huge amount of money for a fresh from University student..] has an entirely different band.. a 9315 band to fit my model 5513 sub..

Did they change the band.. ? I was going to update my band as it is getting loose and could stand a refurbishment..

I bought a 93250 band [at a yard sale of all things for $20.00.. but it will not fit my watch..And that band looks identical to mine except it is more heavily constructed

Here is my watch with the new band beside it.
