Sort of a "back-to-the-roots-weekend-watch" this time - my Hamilton "Darrell", produced between 1949 and 1951. Several years ago this was the first one that I hauled off to a watchmaker, and it was not to be the last...

The second of two on my wrists today. This is my one owner Rolex Air-King Date, won in a Rolex sales contest 54 years ago. It came with a stainless steel bezel. In 2021, I remembered I had acquired a new old stock, genuine 14-karat gold bezel. I decided to commemorate 50 years of ownership by fitting the gold bezel to the Date-Just, thereby creating my gold anniversary Rolex. All original, except the bracelet. My son ruined the original bracelet. (To this day, I have no recollection of how I came into possession of the gold bezel. I know I didn鈥檛 have to pay the $575.00 price on the Rolex envelope!)
