NCAA championship wristwatch won by UCLA forward and NBA Hall of Fame basketball player Jamaal Wilkes in 1973. Led by coaching great John Wooden, UCLA won its seventh straight championship that year with Wilkes anchoring a squad that also included NBA great Bill Walton. Known for his defensive prowess, solid rebounding skills and deadly jump shot, Wilkes won four NBA championship rings in a career that spanned from 1975 to 1984. A member of the famous ''Showtime'' Los Angeles Lakers squad of the early 1980's, Wilkes had his number retired by the Lakers on 28 December 2012, and subsequently by UCLA on 17 January 2013. Bulova watch features a 10kt gold plated back with a heavy gold electroplate bezel affixed to a brown textured leather band. The watchface reads: ''Accutron / 1973 National Basketball Champion / NCAA''. Watchband measures 9'' long including buckle, with the face measuring 1.25'' in diameter. Back is detached from the component of the face, and the leather band shows wear from use. Good condition. With a COA from Jamaal Wilkes.
