New- well new to me Rolex King Midas 9630 number 774 one of the original 1000. In all it's unpolished glory here it is..... if any one knows where to get a box please let me know.

Very cool watch!!

offrdmania · 10 June 2018, 09:47 AM

I have always loved those. The box is probably much rarer than the watch!

Love it. Huge congrats.

A big congrats fella.

For me, the King Midas achieves the (almost) impossible, teetering right on the edge with its blingy flashy'ness ... without quite crossing the line. Theres not many items that Elvis wore that a regular Joe could get away with 40 years later. So darn cool !

A lot of gold there, fellows!! Great pick up!

How does it wear on the wrist size wise?

It's only 28 mm but it's almost the same width all the way around. Appears large on wrist and very heavy mine weighs 198 grams. Super comfortable the way it hugs the wrist.

Awesome! Hope that I one day will come across one so I get the opportunity to try it live on my wrist...
