these modified Rolexes were quite popular in texas I believe in the 1980's, nugget finished band and case, all diamonds on it are aftermarket, band is not original, I don't know what it is worth but it's not my style at all, i'ts so modified. I would need to look at the movement and case very carefully to double check they are at least authentic, although I would never buy it anyway.

I would say about $7000 at most. But looking at it makes my eyes bleed.

Not worth it. You can do better, and for a better looking watch

The YG DD was dubbed "the Texas Timex", as the price of oil skyrocketed and people in the "awl bidness" found themselves swimming in money.

This one? Wouldn't buy it with your money

Scrap value is what it's worth. Im not sure the case could be salvaged. Probably a good price would be 3-4 K

What the heck?! 65.000?!

How much can it weigh? A presidential is around 140gr, so 18ct gold for scrap and a used day-date movement is what it's worth... IMHO.
