Thanks for the links Leo! My wife and I are fans and have been to Graceland 4times including Elvis week in August 2002 the 25th aniversary of his death. We enjoy the exhibit of his jewelry including the watches. Those are some very special personal items in Elvis' life. We are going to spend a couple of days for Elvis week this August. Again, thanks for the link.

Sorry - I don't understand?
Do you still have the watch or did you sell it?

Yes, it's a very nice and unique watch. I have had the pleasure of handling it a few times. Nice and heavy, heavier than you might think.

t e x · 10 May 2010, 04:20 AM

I bet it was a real pleasure and a joy to behold

It's like the King Midas could pass for a mini Ft. Knox

sam. · 10 May 2010, 04:41 AM

Great stuff,i enjoyed reading through that,i really liked the sun crown,and the way it is tucked away accessible only from the back.

greekbum · 10 May 2010, 04:42 AM

Leos watch is stunning I saw it at the Tampa GTG and it looks better in person than in the pics

If your into Gold Rolex's this is the 1

A King is always a better tittle than a President any day
