Click the blue GO ADVANCED button below the dialogue box. Then find the paper clip icon above the dialogue box. You can attach photo files there. But not very big ones.

Hi everyone, hope Christmas went well for you all.
I have a WW1 Rolex officers trench watch which has been serviced recently and runs beautifully. There are no silver hallmarks but the Swiss markings and signed on the face and movement. It originally came from Hawaii so it was probably a
US soldiers watch ?. Don’t know if it is collectable or not, so if you know about them please reply to this. Pics are below. Happy new year to all. Flicks. Still can’t add pics it said the files are too big ! .

Thank you Sir !
I’ve just seen one, a 1603 Wide Boy Sigma Dial from 1974 (I think) in perfect conditions.
Hope you’ll get yourself such a gift for this important milestone.

Howdy everyone! First post!

Just recently received my first Rolex, my wife's grandfather's Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1550. The watch had been sitting in a safe for years after his passing and who knows when the last time the watch was actually worn. I took it to Wempe in NYC and they told me they wouldn't be able to service the watch so I've reached out Phillip Ridley. It's likely going to Fedex tomorrow so figured I'd take some pics of it before I ship it out. Nervous as hell about sending it in the mail but at the same time, I'm nervous about wearing a 40 year Rolex as well lol.
