Rolex Submariner 5508 (Chapter Ring)




This one always brings a smile to my face. It came from a motorcycle collector from Eastbourne. He was a good looking fellow and apparently had been a body double for a famous actor in his youth! He lived in a fantastic modern house and showed me a small part of his motorcycle collection (the rest were in a warehouse). Some were even limited editions complete with serial numbers which I found amusing. He wanted yet another bike and his wife incredibly tried to persuade him to keep the watch! (now she would've been a keeper :)
