Found in my basement... 1985 ROLEX Oyster Perpetual Air-King-Date Precision
I am absolutely clueless when it comes to watches, but was told by a friend to come here with any questions...
I wonder if this watch I found is worth anything? All original papers + box too! |

Nice find. Take some clear pictures of the front and back of the watch and picture of the papers you have. As long and the pictures are clear and focus, we should be able to help you out.

Whoa!
I'd love to own that. Especially that bracelet! Been looking for that exact bracelet setup myself. Treasure that one!

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm all of a sudden taking up an interest in Rolexes... learning a lot just by browsing around in the forums. Some very nice watches on here.
Thanks again. |

Found in the basement? Whaa Hooo! Nice Rolex... You should wear it and enjoy it.
EVERY watch has a story(s)! ...What is the story with this watch? Your basement? Father's, friends? Why was it the basement so long and why was it not found until now?

Wow , only in Canada, you sir are very fortunate indeed, congrats.
Might we here a few words about the watch, is it functioning, keeping time?
