4220 "SPEEDKING" Gilt

[Dr.Smellody]

I have at least eight of these. All my others are printed. This is my only gilt. Look at that gilt minute track!!!!

That thing has seen some use over the decades.

I can see that Speedkings could be very fun to collect. Out of curiosity, are they all manual, or are there any Speedking Perpetuals?

My god, those are very awesome. I don’t see that many Rolex watches pre-1950/60s.

Some of those models looks familiar….may be the exact model(s) Steve McQueen wore in “The Great Escape” (love that movie by the way)

If that watch could talk, the stories it would tell would be very interesting I am sure.
