Dave,
this one's for you. The story goes it was found in JFK's golf bag and I'm sticking to it. :-) All kidding aside, this is what can happen when a watchmaker has too much time on his hands. I made it years ago for my stepfather who was in love with Marilyn and he loved it.
I think your's may not be original also, sorry :-(
