This Ronaldo watch by Jacob & Co is in a league of its own.

Now that's what I call class! By the way, is "to gift" a verb? As in "gifted"?

Yes. E.g. when you give a thing to someone as a gift, you are gifting it.
As you suggest it's another example of "verbing". "Verb" isn't a word that you can use as a verb, either, paradoxically. Gifted is of course an adjective.

Personally, in this particular case, I'd knock out the "n" to provide giftig (German for noxious).

Help with identification, if anyone recognises style or model?
Family heirloom, stored in a box with a Mauthe maker's leaflet, but no idea if it's a Mauthe or not .... any ideas? Face appears to be engraved metal, with the roman numerals clearly in relief above the rest of the engraving. No maker's mark whatsoever, hallmarked on inside of rear cover
Got the movement to hinge out, but no serial number or maker's name anywhere to be seen...
eBay sellers have some very similar-looking cases, but haven't found any with a movement in them ...

How many links from a Rolex Explorer bracelet would you need to have enough metal for it to be recast as a wedding band? Anybody in the know?
I just had an Idea of which metal I want for my wedding band and if I can 'steal' a link or maybe two from my own watch then that's what I'd like to do. If I'd need to sacrifice the whole bracelet well that might be a step too far as I might want or need to sell the watch one day.
A stray post but I'm putting it out there in case somebody knows about this stuff.

Baffled
In an antique shop yesterday I spotted an Omega Speedie for £110 listed as 'film prop with automatic movement'.
Is 'film prop' a well known euphemism for 'knock off'?

That's very neat. I prefer autos, as do most here, but that's a very good looking dial and a quartz keeps time if you take it off for a couple of days.
