Rolex Ad - If You Hunted Big Game The World Over You'd Wear A Rolex

Remember John Cameron Swayze? "Timex. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking".

The famous ice cube test and only fifteen bucks!

I just looked at the US Inflation Calculator. That $15 Timex, say in 1957, would be about $157 now. Kind of high for a Timex back then? But, like with many things with fewer choices available to the consumer back in the day, companies were able to get higher prices for their products.
 
I dealt in high-end watches for several years, not necessarily to make a lot of money, but rather for fun and games. Finally, realized the folly of it all. One can purchase a very nice watch for what it costs to have a Rolex serviced. Trust me folks, there is nothing special about Rolex watches, Patek maybe, but otherwise forget it. I know that Rolex watches can bring stupid prices. Several years ago on Antique Road Show, a Vietnam vet showed up with a Daytona that he had purchased during his tour of duty there. Never really had worn it, and had everything including sales receipt. Appraised at 500-750K.
Get real. But then, as I have noted some fools recently paid $2million for Brady rookie cards. Go figure. Hey - about Louis Vitton gun cases!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
