Nanuq Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 I just won an auction for a vintage (66 years old) solid gold Rolex for my wife!!! It's been completely overhauled, the dial is creamy white with raised yellow gold indices, gold hands, and the movement is a champ with (get this) a MICROSTELLA balance. I can't wait for it to get here! What's the occasion? Nuthin' I just sorta like the gal...
rek001 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 So Mrs. Nanuq gets a vintage too! Lucky girl. Sounds very cool, please post pix when you get it.
slickdick Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 sounds like you got a really nice watch for your gal...
Guest Carl Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 This project should work out well for BOTH of you. Good job! Carl

jonthebhoy Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Can't wait to see you give her that special Nanuq going over....................the watch, silly! JTB
eunomians Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Great Bob, I am sure that she's gonna love it. Please post some pics! I while back I bought my gal a vintage steel black-dialed rollie that I can't even peel off of her to take pics of.
ryyannon Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Good for you, Bob... I'm sure the watch couldn't have found a better home or a more deserving winner Sounds like a solid-gold case of good karma: the proof that what goes round indeed comes around...
Cracker Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 my 1939 Rolex is filled gold but its a champ
