Hey guys, thought I would share these since there has been some vintage discussions lateley....

The first one is a wafer thin Rolex Dress Watch, based on my research it is from the 30's....mint condition, just a very small mark on one of the sides...runs like a top...















The second is a unique and rare Cartier Tank with a wood dial and wood bezels on the sides.....for the longest time I thought this might be a fake but recently hooked up with a guy on another forum that has the same watch, he too thought it was fake and sent it to Cartier for service and they did a complete overhaul and restoration on it, they would not do that if it was fake.

Anyway, here's some pics....

As far as I know it is, I've had the watch for about 10 years and bought it from the collection of an old time watch maker so my guess is yes

You are absolutely correct Nabco and WOW-Reason Being is I never seen a presicion with this particular crown until I just looked up the reference and there was a shot of one on a Christies Auction back in 2000 exact and Identical!  All Origional and that is $$$$ Congrats and Beautiful Both of them!
