Going up on the auction block is the Rolex Marilyn Monroe gave to John F. Kennedy for his birthday in 1962.

Worth a look?

That's a nice piece of history. I can't help wondering why it's on ebay and not in some fancy auction house.

Good point, Adrian....that piece of history is most certainly too good for flea-bay!!

This item has somewhat lurid overtones that some auction houses may wish to avoid.

I still think it's cool.

Hi Charles,

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we would like to see some pics of yours and your wife's collection. Looks very impressive.

Seeing as though this watch has less than perfect proof of being authentic I am amazed at the selling price. I personally would not touch that watch with the provided documents. =) maverick
