Smh just found out about Rolex King Midas
Shame on me. A solid Rolex collection and I only this week found out that a Rolex King Midas (and a Cellini) version exist. What a gorgeous piece hut now that vintage watches are coming back the price is too much

Just be aware that the King Midas is not water proof at all, not even for a shower.

Also no shame, we all learn something new as collectors every now and then, sometimes more frequently sometimes less. But for me that is the fun of it.

Elvis was given a King Midas in 1970:

I had the chance to try my friend white gold King Midas and I have to say that the watch is massive, weight a ton but it has is charm because is so unique,
but if I was getting one would definitely be the white gold and the one with written MIDAS on the dial instead of that terrible Cellini in fake italics font Screen Shot 2023-02-12 at 4.11.00 PM.jpg |

It's only this past year that these 1970s gold watches have become hot again. |
