No gold or silver today, but i did score a Rolex *UPDATE* It's a FAKE....rats...

another beach hunt today dscooped up $10.52 in clad (5 of it I had to put into the meter) got 2 foreign coins a little novelty coin 8 earrings, with two pairs, all junk. 5 bracelets, all junk. And a Rolex watch from the water. It had been there for a while. It does have a few drops of water in it. Does not run :'( thought maybe I could send it in and have it repaired if it didn't cost to much. Here are the pics.

Done some research on line and found several references that one surefire way to spot a fake is by the case back. If it has a clear case back, so that you can see the internal working of the watch, IT IS A FAKE. Rolex NEVER made a watch that has a clear case back.

Mine has a clear back :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(



Oh well it was an exciting find either way.

Oh no....did you find it in Florida? I think it belongs to my neighbor, he's trolling md websites looking for it and just
called me saying that's it. ::)
Send it to me and I will quietly give it to him without the need for authorities to get involved.

BTW..congratulations..hope it's real. :icon_thumright:

A Rolex is a nice find even if it is a knock off. As many times as someone has told me they lost their Rolex over by "that Buoy", I have never found one. In fact I haven't even found a Timex this year.
