    Iv always been fascinated with by swiss automatic watches but never realy had the dough to snag one.

    Was back home visiting family and was talking about watches over breakfast with the grand parents. When my Grand mother said " I got a box of old watches we never where any more if you would like to dig through it" sure why no lol

    So as soon as I open up the big cigar box my little bro yells "dibbs" and reaches over my shoulder and snaggs a late 60s submariner. Well "€&₩$&% $£€+#%?♡&"

    But I didn't too to bad. I ended up with this

    Considering Rolex didn't make a ladies watch with the day indicator, sounds like they were 36mm Presidents. Of course without pictures they don't really exist...;)

    Old Seikos can be worth something. Post pictures if you get a chance.

    It sounds like your liitle bro is the last person you want to put near those watches, especially if he suspects they're worth more than he thought ::jumpy::

    It's a 56x (562, 563, or 565 in order of probability) and if it's in as good shape as it looks it would sell for $600-ish, give or take $100 considering it probably needs a service. Not sure if the crown is original or not, but if you ever get a shot of the inside of the case back we can check.
