··Sunburst dial fanI did something to a watch today, that I have never done before. I “modded” it! I won this Rolex Air-King Date-Just in a Rolex sales contest 50 years ago. Yes! In 1971! Somewhere over the last 30 years or so, I acquired a genuine Rolex 14-karat yellow gold bezel. It came to me in its original envelope with a retail price (then) of $575.00. I’ve had it in my stash for over 30 years. I decided since this year is the 50th year of this watch, it was time to celebrate its Golden Anniversary, 50 years of ownership, by fitting the 14-karat yellow bezel to it, and to service it, likely for the 5th time over the years I’ve had it. Bracelet is not original.

Lovely watch. I know that I could have sourced and bought a Rolex like yours but I realise that I’m an Omega fan, so I have this superficially similar Omega, also about 50 years old (1968 serial number) 🥰
