Updated info: Today I spoke to my mother in law Brother, He stated that he gave my father in law the Rolex watch as a gift at least 50yrs ago, He bought a pawn ticket from a friend who needed cash and He paid The Pawn Shop and took ownership of the watch. He told me the watch looked new to Him. At that time He owned a Solid Gold Longines so' He gave My Father in Law the Rolex. He stated That He still owns the Longines and it is in great shape and working condition. He is trilled that I restored the Rolex and wants to see pictures...I asked Him for pics of the longines so I can research it and provide some info. He wants to know the value...He also told me that my father in law will wear the Rolex even when working on his yard and He will tell him to remove it, but my in law will said "it just a watch", LOL If he only knew how much it was going to go up in value....(my Mother In Law is 78 yrs old?) so perhaps her memory of events is not that sharp.
