Thats a "win, win" for sure. Rich Rolex Company history, as well as family history. That is definitely a family treasure...wear it proudly (Im a 1965 guy too)

I don't, I have no desire to have a watch that old.

Funny, most of the watches from 1957 are too small or they are way more than I would like to pay. I have casually looked for something from 1978, the year I married my best half, but have not found one that I would call mint.
