Did Rolex make any souvenir silver spoons?
It appears I have one. I dont know if I spelled souvenir right, but my mom was cleaning some stuff out of her bedroom closet today and found a box containing my great grandmothers silver spoon collection. Tonight I'm lying on the couch and she comes downstairs and asks me "Did Rolex ever make a spoon?" Then she showed me this
   Sorry for the craptacular pictures, the site I hosted them on cut some of the image out in the larger version, I dont know why. On the handle , it has "Lucerne" written on it, "Rolex Bucherer Watches" on the head along with a Rolex crown, what looks like a lion with a cross in a circle on the spoon part, and " B-69" stamped on the back of the handle. Good shot of the top with my 16800 to finish up. I'm thinking it was maybe a promotional item for an authorized dealer? Maybe someone here will know.... |

Bucherer's is a chain of shops in Switzerland. You can frequently find these spoons on Ebay. I've seen several different styles. I like them.

Oddly, I got offered a bundle of these in a market in Mumbai last year.....at the time I assumed they were 'fakes', wish I had picked them up for the interest value now

I have a couple of them, they're usually $5 - $10 on eBay.
