Some might have noticed that I made a thread in the Classifieds Section where I wanted to buy a Rolex paperweight in green glass that was given as an advertisement item some years ago at the Basel Fair.

"The Mole", offered me one of his paperweights since he had two and only asked me to make a donation to TRF to have him become a Pledge Member, as well.

He even included a nice Rolex pen and a Rolex passport holder with the paperweight and sent everything to me in Denmark. He would not accept me at least paying the shipping charge!

You cannot believe how grateful I am! You are a GREAT person!

Thanks SO much!

Here are the pics:

The case for the paperweight:

Nice leather pouch!

The GORGEOUS paperweight, made in Italy of the finest glass:

I found a nice place for it, I believe:

A cool passport holder that I have never seen before!

A superb Rolex pen! It writes like a dream!

You are AWESOME!

Judging from the availablity of a Rolex paper weight, I'm beginning to believe the Rolex paper weight is as, or more collectable as the Rolex watches.
