The JFK Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday Mr. President President!!!
Questionable Authenticity
Alert: It has come to our attention after publishing this story that the authenticity of this watch is questionable. This information comes from a highly reliable source.
We are currently investigating the authenticity of this watch and as soon as we conclude we will let you know.
Marilyn Monroe supposedly gave this Yellow Gold Day-Date Rolex "President" to U.S. President Kennedy. The watch sold on October 18, 2005 for $120,000.
Marilyn Monroe gave this Yellow Gold Rolex President to President Kennedy the night she famously sang "Happy Birthday."
The watch case also contains a poem, written on a small piece of paper, titled "A Heartfelt Plea on Your Birthday." The Poem reads:
"Let lovers breathe their sighs and roses bloom and music sound.
Let passion burn on the lips and eyes and pleasures merry world go round.
Let golden sunshine flood the sky and let me love or let me die."
Marilyn Monroe was dead two months later and JFK was dead 6 months later.
Indeed reality is stranger than fiction and this kind of illustrates that the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long...

Rolex of the Day: Masterpiece Ruby and Diamond Ladies Datejust...
This Ladies Rolex Masterpiece watch has always been one of my favorites with its stunning array of rubies and diamonds and mother of pearl dial. Granted this watch is over the top and not for every woman, but it is stunningly beautiful.
The History of Time in Movies...
One of the most famous images of early cinematography is of Harold Lloyd hanging on for dear life in the movie "Safety Last" which was released in 1923.
Since then seeing clocks and watches in movies has increased, but it all started with this image.
Why? Because men have only really been wearing watches on their wrist since the 1920s. Prior to that all watches were pocket watches.
