UPDATE!!! What time is it.... It's Rolex time!!!
I went down to south Florida in hopes that the recent winds and waves might of uncovered some old shipwreck stuff. Well, although I really didn't do well on the shipwreck stuff I did find this little piece. I took it to my jeweler friend this morning and he checked it out to make sure it was real. After inspecting it and testing the gold on it, he determined it's a Rolex 18k gold and stainless sub-mariner and it works pefectly. I'm so excited!!! I had never seen a Rolex let alone thought of owning one. He told me this watch goes for somewhere between 7 and 8 thousand bucks. I guess my hobby has paid for it's self. I'm planning on keeping it for myself because I always give away all my other stuff. Here are some pics.
I just added a picture of the watch after the new bezel insert and a cleaning (please excuse my thumb print, I didn't see it till after the cam was put away). My Jeweler said it should last me a lifetime with proper care. To bad it sits in my safe, but I will wear it out for those special nights.
