ROLEX “Dennison Case” No. 633514 9k (375) gold wristwatch for the British market Case: cushion-shaped, push-button caseback, signed and numbered Dial: repainted with Roman numerals on a guilloché background, signed Movement: mechanical with manual winding, signed Dimensions: 28 x 28 mm Gross weight: 26.8 g. According to tradition, this watch—regardless of the initials engraved on the back—is said to have been given to an international player on the England national team. A relic of an era when rugby was still played in black and white, it bears a hand-engraved inscription on the back: “R. H. Guest.” This dedication could well refer to R. H. Dickie Guest, an English international rugby union player and an iconic figure of the Waterloo Rugby Football Club, who played for England both before and after World War II.
