My 18k RG bumper automatic and 18k YG Rolex "bubbleback" automatic:

Both date from ~1950.

I've had the Omega for several years and refer to it as my "special occasion" watch. The Rolex was acquired a couple of weeks ago out of the estate of this gentleman:

C. Thomas Clagett

The Rolex came on a 14k YG mesh as shown here:

As you may recall, the Omega also came on a 14k mesh. That bracelet is known as a "rainbow" mesh as it is comprised of RG, WG, and YG:

The Rolex will soon be going off for some polishing and service but I wanted a photo of the two together before that happens.
