So my wife and I have some people over for dinner the other night and one of our friends was wearing an old Rolex OysterDate with a green marijuana leaf logo on a brown dial.

My friend was recently in Paris and said that he found the watch in an antique store somewhere in the 6ème.

Here’s a picture of the watch. Has anyone ever seen this before?

I’m hoping to get any information whatsoever about this piece so I can share it with my friend the next time I see him.

Btw, no one smoked any funny stuff before, during or after our dinner and the watch has since become my friend’s daily beater.

Many thanks to everyone in advance!

Yep, and what are those markings at the 36 second marker?

Psmith · 7 April 2010, 09:27 PM

Is that 'Rolex green' ?

Nice!

Funny but sends a message I wouldn't want to portray for me...

It is definitely not original or sent from the factory this way.

Widows Son · 7 April 2010, 10:14 PM

It would be in a box to be redialed in about 10 seconds, or maybe less.

Jackxv · 7 April 2010, 10:33 PM

Well, it's not too bad.

Maybe in the USA the marijuana isn't accepted like over here.

It's easier to get a ounce of weed over here than meet somebody with a firearm, except police.

Is weed legal over there?

Lame to the point of ridiculousness. I would love to see Rolex service centers expression when they got that in for service.

Well, it's free accesible for everybody 18+ and will cost about 6 euro's a gram. Also we've got the lowest ammount (%) harddrugs addicts in Europe.

Drugs are separated here in soft and harddrugs.
All type a cannabis products are softdrugs
Synthetical, cocaine and opium variants are harddrugs

We don't have crystal meth or crack, ofcourse there are junkies but most of them use in ammonia cooked cocaine.

bayerische · 7 April 2010, 10:47 PM

You wouldn't see me wearing it.

jameshe · 7 April 2010, 10:52 PM

remind me to be at the front of the queue for a 'cocaine powder' meteorite-style daytona dial if one comes out!

Why.

Idle Swede · 7 April 2010, 11:08 PM

One way to ruin an otherwise nice watch.

Lamone · 7 April 2010, 11:06 PM

Great looking dial

Thanks for sharing.

JulianCasablancas · 7 April 2010, 11:31 PM

very interesting! thanks for the post. I would guess, as another poster did, that it was painted on (assuming the rest of the watch is legit).

To me the MILGAUSS GV was always the Mary Jane Rolex!
