Ronnie spoke to a chap with a sewing machine about 12 mins into tonught’s Antiques Roadshow show.
He switched the attention to his wristwatch and the chap said it was bought for him in 1967, but it looked to me like a 2010+ watch. Gloss, “Swiss made” dial with modern hands, a current spec bracelet, it defo had nothing on it from the 60s.
I’d go as far as saying I think it could have been a fake.
Anyone else see it?
1967 GMT serviced by Rolex and devalued hugely.......
This is how a 1967 should look, however sounds like the AR one has been improved by Rolex...

I thought it was a much later watch from the case and bracelet.
Also, had it been a genuine 1968 case that had received service parts, would they have used a later modern dial with the WG trims, don’t they have older service dials that matches the hand painted plots.
Case has no lug holes.......
The gold Omega on the same show was a much nicer, (more interesting, and all original by the look of it), watch. Seems AR have to have, and fawn over, the obligatory Rolex on every show.
I was also puzzled why the AR guy said that the owner of the Omega shouldn't wear it as he'd wear out the gold!
