Today's gold watch, Rhapsody Royale in 14K gold...
Front loader 'waterproof' case', 21 jewel, manual wind (afaik, never opened it), seems thin for an automatic. Paid $100 USD for it May 4, 2003.
Gold was $341 to $342 per troy oz on that date. Today it was $2185 USD.
Today's 'iron' watch...
Faux 'bubbleback' with ETA 2550. Bought three of them from Yahoo auctions 20+ years ago. Very well made and I have seen quite a few for sale claimed to be genuine over the years. Case ref # is 5015, serial # is 545383.
The minute numbers are not fully visible because of the angle of the reflector ring but they all show up straight on.
