Uncovering King Tut's Mystery, The Grand Finale... INCOMING!!!
Previously on my Last Flight to Egypt thread (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=274257)...
Prior to any type of long distance traveling it's always wise to get medical advise from a sage Doctor, glad I have Dr. JBA (JustABreathAway) who is also a WIS on my side   What really intrigued me about Dr. JBA's enthusiasm and sound advise is that he received tutelage from the wise Otto aka Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Tokyo region!   Sometimes before taking flight it's always wise to seek advise from those who have travelled these skies, however, still being a little wet behind the ears I was not paying attention to a certain Steelerfan's advice on this reference

i am happy for you no matter what Sam. You da man!!!
But I am confused still. Love both the watches in your pics, but you got the SD not too long ago. Looks like the DD and it is nothing short of beautiful. If this is the case, wear it in good health. Or whatever you did get.....lol

I got an update saying this thread had begun while I was wearing that exact outfit from the first picture, literally keeping someone alive (FYI, I didn't see the message til after the case, and he did live!)!
Funny how this old world works! Congratulations Sam!!! |

     Archaeologist are still suprised on how well Tutankhamun body has been preserved through all these years and I am always fascinated with the study of all things life related. I am 1000% that if King tut were to wear a Rolex he would have indeed wore a Day-Date in the Roman dial configuration! I was not in Love with the 218235 when I first saw it, however, after acquiring my 326935 I have a greater appreciation for all things Rolex Rose and Chocolate! I absolutely  it!Yes stickers still intact!

Here are my double trouble Rolex Rose Gold references bonding! Yes, stickers still intact and both are keepers! ;-) 218935 and my 326935  As with any meaningful timepiece, pictures do not do these timepieces any justice  in person!
