My 48 year old Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King date is chosen for the next few days. Off to the mountains again for a few days R & R with a few friends. This is not a “beater”, but I need a watch that has proven it can stand up to active wear, and one that already has a few battle scars. And, no! That is not lint you are seeing. The finish on the 48 year old dial is beginning to check a bit. After market Oyster bracelet. I won this watch in a sales contest in 1970. The retail price on the hang tag that came with it was $215.00. Read it and weep!
The UK Ed White today. I’m going to put a better bezel on it, I think. The 150 that’s been scratched into it bothers me, but maybe I’ll wear the watch and leave it the way it is.
