Hey, i'm new to this forum. I wanted to post a pic of my Rolex. Had it since 1989. Not sure of its value, or story (other than how I got it) It has been serviced at Rolex, so I know its 100% real. let me know what you think. I understand its the airforce emblem of the republic of yemen.

That's awesome! As per my avatar, I also like logo Rolexes.

As it stands now, its value is probably pretty similar to a plain-dial OP Date, but it seems like appreciation for these logos dials is growing over the years. How did you acquire it in 1989?

Birthday Gift. Long story short:It was lost by the owner in a casino in the middle east in the 80's. It made its way to the authorized Rolex store, and then to me.

Cool watch. Was a serial number search done to try to get the watch back to the person who lost it?
