Was down the Beach and Found a Huge rock with something Shinny in it i threw it to my friend and told him he could have it, well about a hour after we got home he called me and said he got the Rock off and it says Rolex 18K 750 on it, so i rushed over his house to take a look and it was a ROLEX Face, the pic is just of the back of the watch havent gotten it all apart yet. i took it back from him and Tomorrow we are taking it to one of his friends houses that buys gold and we are splitting the MONEY. also found a weird A thing with 2 stars on it. And heres the 3 Dimes ive got the last few weeks the Merc and the Barber were already posted on here just figured id take the pic with all three.

Looks like a real one to me. You can tell the movement was stainless. The fakes usually are not. Keep us posted. Great Find.

A truly great find. I found reference to a Rolex with serial number 8570f and number 8828, but yours bears the number 88278: darn close, but Google produces no hits. The 8828 watch I did come across (http://jewelry-shops.us/jewel/rolex-18k/) is loosely valued at $10k.
