Someone off line ask how many type of aircraft my Rolex GMT Master Concorde and I have been a Flight Mechanic on. So here is the list
Started 1969 when I got the GMT at 34 years old I was a Flight Mechanic on Bell helicopters B-204/205 then Chinook CH-47C. Then on to DC-8s,B-727,B-737,747 and B-757.I Ended being a Flight Mechanic in 2007 when I was 73 years old. From then on till May 2024 I was a ground mechanic on B-727,B-737 and C-130s ending at 89 years old and into the rocking chair in the junk yard. |

Native Americans Artists
I know this web site is about Rolex watches.But I feel I need to talk about my Native American made gold and Turquoise watch tabs.
There are few worldly adornments that bring as much culture and history to society as Native American Indian of the Southwestern United States jewelry. Turquoise conveys a special meaning as it has for centuries,healing.spirit and good fortune. The Southwestern Navajo,Zuni and Hopi tribes are known for jewelry pieces created from sterling silver,14K gold and stones. Native American artists work from home on the reservation and some work in jewelry shops in town to create beautiful custom pieces of jewelry that are truly art. Here is photo of some of my Native American Bolo Ties. To learn more about Native Americans and the Southwest Google online. |

My soap box for today
![]() ![]() I think to many Rolex GMT Master are all flap and no throttle sit in dark hangers and never get out and do the job Rolex made them for. People ask me why I wear such a rare legendary luxury ostentatious watch ever day and I say if you have it why not enjoy it. I know it looks like a Rolls-Royce with bull horns on the front but I like it that way. We are both getting old I am 89 and the watch is 55 years old and we both show our age after are travels and adventures down life's lost highway a road less traveled that had a few puddles in it.The best part I had fun traveling it. |

Another interesting full set from 1969 with a Concorde watch. Although who knows if it wasn't just cobbled together as dealers often used what they had available or what the customer wanted. https://jewelry.ha.com/itm/timepiece...mbnail-071515#
You can see details if you "View Full Size" when you click on an image. That said, your watch probably came in the same wood box for a Daytona, like you have above. that other box I posted seems to be for a president Datejust. At least I think… Anyways, good luck! |

box
I saw on in one of the site 68.00.55 looks best to my memory .
I don't remember any white and don't remember it having an outbox but it may have had one The ones in Japan only take Pay-Pal and E bay dose not take AX any more so it make it hard to pay some places. I only use American Express because I have been taken on line. Thanks keep looking |
