Now here's something you don’t see every day: A vintage Rolex-branded green leather backgammon set, replete with the original cups, checkers, and dice. Offered for auction in December of last year by Sotheby's (so no, you can’t buy it — but loving watch culture means you're always seeing cool stuff you can't buy), this darling piece of merch stood out alongside several more common lots for Rolex paperweights, ashtrays, keychains, and store display ephemera.
