I'd love to see this Milgauss, please... Superb watch; The modern recreation is nice enough in its green glass variant but doesn't match the original.Originally Posted by Talbot

Whilst strictly speaking it's not a Rolex, a 50's Tudor Prince Oysterdate, with large rose and 'thunderbird' bezel.

Still wearing the Ladies' Oyster Perpetual Date I received as a gift in 1985.
2013 feels like a creepy uncle who keeps trying to kiss me. I want to dodge it as much as possible!
Last time I landed at O'Hare I reckon they off loaded my luggage before the plane touched down. I got it, but in pieces.
Early in my career I worked as a facility technician at an international airport here.
There are many places where luggage conveyors pass through unattended spaces. Too tempting for some.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you were at least financially compensated.

You're not the only one to have had problems at O'hare...
I can not show you my Rolex - bought a Oyster Datejust in 1982. 6 years later - in 1988 mys son was born and, as you see on the picture, he always had an eye for it. (just look where his little hand is!)
So - when he graduated in 2005 - I passed it on to him, and now he wears it with great pride and joy in London town.

"There I stood at the bar, wearing a Mae West, no jacket, and beginning to leak blood from my torn boot. None of the golfers took any notice of me - after all, I wasn't a member!'
If only you'd had that mo for Movember Søren :-)I can not show you my Rolex - bought a Oyster Datejust in 1982. 6 years later - in 1988 mys son was born and, as you see on the picture, he always had an eye for it. (just look where his little hand is!)

Its had some work, and I would not call it any more original than grandpa's axe....
Thank you. Seems the lume has a nice patina. Was it still Radium, or had they already changed to H3?
Radium I think - not sure. It is a very low contrast dial when wearing it. A black face would have been better and glare from the domed acrylic doesn't help.
Difficult to read at a glance and harder under water.
The bracelet is wrong, but the correct riveted one is outside my discretionary budget right now. I have a Nato (ish) strap, but its way too long.
