OMG, you own a King Midas???!!!

May I ask you to show us more pictures of this rare Rolex, which I have seen only once in the wild on the wrist of a tourist manager in Switzerland many, many years ago. Do you also own the interesting box for the Midas in form of an antique amphora?

Here is a picture of such a Midas-box:

Please be so kind and give us more information about your Midas.

Sorry for not mentioning the wine, but compared to the Midas the bottle seems nearly unimportant…….

Matthias

Oh this watch is outstanding!

Another watch from that wonderful year 1970!

[NicoH]

I´m coming over - please decant the wine already!

Now I have a 2006 Submariner, am I supposed to shoot a pic of my watch with a 2006 wine??

Matthias: Note that Leo´s King Midas is not only a "crown right" Midas but it also lacks the "Cellini"-writing on the dial. Therefore it´s triple rare ;)

Cheers-
Nico

Yes Matthias, I have the box... ;)

I hope I didn't bore you with all these pictures but I just love this watch... ;) ;)

[Idle Swede]

Nico,

It doesn't have to be a 2006 wine, (even though it would be nice) but maybe something associated to the that particular watch.



Maybe something like this.... :] :]

Leo,

I´m in the office right now (otherwise I wouldn´t have time to hang out on the fora). I don´t have a camera here, and I don´t have any booze, either :(

Let me see if I can find something at home - I´ll sure post it soon!

How´s this for a start?

I´m back!

Here´s watch and wine from 2006:

This might be the first time I actually snapped a pic at 10:10:31!

I found another watch at home that dates back to 1995 but the closest wine I could find was from 1996 so I didn´t shoot it.

Automotive related? Easy for me ;)

Here´s watch and car from 2006:

[NicoH]

Good to see you back!

I was almost worried about you not being here for a day...

Did you see that Croco flooded TZ with his wallpapers? ;)

Cheers and have a great weekend my friend-
Nico

[Idle Swede]

Good to hear that somebody worries about me.. ;)

I was out of town yesterday. Had to go to Disney in Orlando to pick up a truck.

Yes, I saw his post.

Man, he's a genius, I wish he could make me a Midas wallpaper..:)

[NicoH]

He will, he also made one for Charles already.

Reply in the TZ-thread or write him an email, his address is in his profile.

Cheers-
Nico
