Rolex WITH 'ER' INSCRIBED

hello All

I bought this new watch from a friend back in 1999. He worked for 'ER' show and was gifted by Warner bros. He had no use for the watch so I bought it Have never worn the watch and it has its original sticker on. It includes a note from the creators of the show. Does this have more value because or 'ER' inscribed with the creators of note. what do u think this watch is worth ???

any help and input will be appreciated.

Very likely not any higher than a brand new one without the ER letters on the case back. Does not have ties to a single elite respected Hollywood actor or actress, so that’s why.

I doubt that adds any value to it at all. Still a nice watch.

Try contacting Sotheby’s and see if they might be interested - nonetheless pretty cool!

It is cool. I just can’t imagine anyone paying a premium for that.

That's a cool detail. I'm definitely in the wrong industry. Never had an employer gift me a Rolex.

It would have been better if the letters were on the dial.

All you need are two diehard fans of the show that have to have it and you’ve got a bidding war.

I think a small premium, but nothing major. I almost see it appealing to some who has the initials ER.

Maybe drop a line to the HM The Queen, aka Elizabeth Regina. She might fancy it.

Agree that you need to find someone who was really into ER, and Rolexes. As the show has been off air for a while, it may not be easy to find such people.

I believe that is Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg's autographs.

On a second look, premium might be in the condition, that watch looks unworn!

I think you're right. Just grind off that pesky engraving and it might be worth something
