I apologize in advance for what you are about to see if you click on the link. Once you see it, you can never un-see it.

I'm trying to figure out how this bracelet is attached. Also in the 3rd and 6th pictures, you can see white metal at the 3:00 and 9:00 positions on the top of the side of the case. The bezel also appears to be white metal.

Warning... This is not for the faint of heart.

Can anyone discern how this bracelet is attached to the case? I've noticed a couple of other weird things about it as well.

The Rolex police would spirit you away to Switzerland never to be seen again.

That is a real Texas Timex. :)

Good lord that's horrid. I've lived here my whole life, have never seen one that I recall. Hopefully they've all been melted down by now (save for this now uber-rare lone survivor...it's worth it's weight gold, I tell ya!!).

I swear Benny Binion wore that watch, when I was a kid I saw him plenty of times. He also had a bark president too. He was originally from Texas and moved to Las Vegas. He'd fly into to town in his Saberliner. Late 1970's - 1985ish

michael067 · 31 July 2016, 04:39 PM

Horrid looking piece.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Not even enough decency to create solid end links. What's this world coming to??
