According to tradition, this watch – regardless of the initials engraved on the back – is said to have been presented to an England international rugby player. A relic of an era when rugby was still played in black and white, it bears a hand-engraved inscription on the reverse: ‘R. H. Guest’. This dedication could well refer to R. H. Dickie Guest, an English international rugby union player and an iconic figure at Waterloo Rugby Football Club, who represented England both before and after the Second World War.
