And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

As soon as I saw this pic of the Rolex, I was reminded of my Rolex Datejust watch that I purchased in the late 70's. I wore the heck out of it for many years, and a decade or so ago I retired it to a battery powered watch winder box. Some time ago, I found an article about my watch on a watch collecting website. As described at the website, my watch was is the Rolex ref.1630 and it came fitted with an integrated 'Jubilee' bracelet code 96673 in 14K yellow gold and stainless steel gold and stainless steel.
