No, It's not solid 14k, it's "gold filled." I love this case though! Especially the fancy bow...

Beautiful pieces. Do you acquire fobs and chains also?

I can play 
Nice Omega half hunter, keeps excellent time but not used very often.
My father 1952 Omega, before and after restoration. The dial was shot from many years in the warmth and humidity of SE Asia, but the result means I wear it daily when I do not need a more "rugged" watch.
Fairly new to hats here, a bit more of an "old hands" when it comes to watches ...

Hahaha! Thanks Nathan!
I have to say, I really love your watches! They make my collection look like dog-doodies.
Incidently, here is my collection:
As you can see, nothing as great as yours...*iz humbled*

You're crazy! Those are all beautiful watches... And I love the chains as well! What's that last watch? It looks like a private label of some sort.

The watches are...
1920s TACY (Tavannes-Cyma) Admiral (15j).
1896 IWC Schaffhausen (15j) and 1900 Waltham Riverside (17j).
ca. 1952 Ball-Record 435C (21J. Six adj. Full RR watch).
1918 Elgin (again, 15j).
1899 Waltham M1895 (7j). The label on the dial is for a jeweller here in Melbourne (that no longer exists).
The Ball is my pride and joy. I've wanted a RR watch for years but I never thought I'd ever afford one. But I got that one on the cheap.

Some beautiful watches. Watches and knives have been a money pit for me over the years.
Except for my grandfathers old Waltham, most of my vintage watches are from the 60's and 70's.
A PX sale Vietnam era O&W Early Bird 24 hour watch:
A South African SADF Roamer from the Bush Wars:
US Military issue 1969 Benrus:
1970's Tudor snowflake:

RAF Pilot's Watch
My mum purchased me this watch for Christmas this year. It original belonged to an RAF pilot during the Second World War. It appears to have originally been gold plated although most of the gold has been scratched off over the years, giving it an awesome distressed look. It's quite annoying to wind your watch every morning but its well worth it when its an awesome vintage one!
