Go for it! Once you get all the other things, it's harder to find money for the watches!

Thanks guys. I'm sorry to ask so many questions! I do use Google a lot, but like to hear of others personal experiences.

Joe, your roses are lovely!

Well everyone, here it is! I just got confirmation that it's mine and so I put it on hold! The pic is now my avatar, but here are a couple more. It's a WWI era 9kt rose gold Rolex. I've been on the lookout for a DJ for a long time, but then I stumbled upon this gorgeous creation and I couldn't resist it. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm just so darn excited! I have not seen it in person yet. What do ya'll think? I think I'm getting an excellent price on it and it's in extraordinary condition.

Ugh! Having trouble posting pictures. How do I do this? Must it be in photobucket?

Nevermind! See above.

Well, Bonny, we can see it just fine as your avatar. There is a guide to posting pictures in one of the "sticky" threads - see if that will help. There may be other ways to post pictures, but I always put mine in photobucket first.

Anyhow, it's a beauty of a watch! Congratulations. I love seeing the vintage Rolexes.

Really, Joe? You guys were born the same year?

Bonny, what size is that case? Just curious - oooh.... could you please give us a wrist shot when you get that watch home?

I think it is from the year 1901. If I was that old I would have earned the nickname from Jim of DeadWood1957.

Hmmm.....there's a thought. You DID say you were really proud of him so he might be worth more than the last 10 mortgage payments I was thinking of!
