Article in todays Daily Mail , suggesting it might be sold for up to £30 k
I'd be interested to know what itcwould be worth minus the provenance .

Anyone got an idea ?

not read that, but did you know during the war Rolex 'sold' watches to POW's on the promise of being paid after the war.

Gorgeous thing, I hope those selling it are doing so because they want to, not because they have to.
