Watch collection post #4. I picked this one up from Ebay for $170. Turns out the seller lived right down the street. We swapped cash and watch in a local parking lot. A nice little piece. It was loved by Mr. Newsome then some grandkid probably sold all of his stuff in an estate sale. Oh well, their loss. Caliber 500 GX 6267 circa 1957. 14k gold filled in excellent condition. A little small at about 33mm but it was the style back then.
Love how these were presented to people for hard work back in the 50s and 60s. Now most people just get a pat on the back. My wife's company gives rolex's for 20 years but thats very rare. Shes at 17 yrs and counting.
