Yes thanks, I know that thread. I just posted a scan from 8X10, as an extra to the first photo.

Interesting watch design, although it has the appearance more of a novelty watch than a luxury timepiece.

Obviously custom made, would be interesting to know more about it.

It has the letters of his name used to indicate the hour points of the watch face, and the guitar seems to be the only hand on the watch indicating a single hand watch design that dates back to timepieces from as early as the 16th Century.

If so, using a guitar was perhaps not the most precise way to handle such a single handed watch design, but one can approximate the time the photo was taken as approaching 1.30

I have just created a topic on another of Elvis' watches, his 18 carat gold Corum Buckingham

Very much agree. Thanks for the heads up!
