One of the more iconic Rolex watches - a circa 1965 Explorer with the rare gilt-dial on a Rolex Jubilee bracelet. This watch has an understated elegance allowing it to be worn while hiking or hunting and also for the opera or black tie affairs. Plus it is on the smaller side and isn't as gaudy as some Rolex sport watches.
Here's an Omega automatic that once belonged to my Great-Uncle. It's dated 1960 in the inscription on the back, and I recently found it in my father's things. The second hand had fallen off and was rattling around inside the crystal. A local watch repair place put that second hand back on today for $5, and I put a new band on it. I have no idea what model this is,and I've been unable to find an exact match anywhere on the net. At any rate, it's a nice gold watch that is keeping very good time so far,especially since it may have spent 40 years in that dresser.
It reminds me of my Omega Automatic Constellation.
Look on the back of the watch and see if it has an observatory on it.
There's a good chance that it's The Traffic Club of Chicago. You might give them a call for verification.the TF club of Chicago 1959-1960. no other markings. No idea what the TF club was
same State, not so simple.
