WOW! That is the detail I am running after! I don't own one Rolex which matches

With my birth year... Best, and bravo! Nicolas

You know what?

Neither do i. Absurd!

There is an explanation to that...

GMTs or Subs from 1964 or 1965 are quite hard to find... I don't know why, but this is a fact! Best, Nicolas.

The watch! [nt]

I have a bottle of wine that's my birth year, but I don't have a watch that's my birth year... You just pointed out something that I don't have that I probably am now thinking if I want/need. Happy new year!

happy new year

That is a superb GMT.

At last a post of the DRSD.....and so good to see that you are back in the SD fold. Happy New Year to you and family....and superb picture. Silly me...i wasn't aware that they were making 1665s in the 1950s......

LOL! We learn everyday!

 
 By: amanico : January 1st, 2014-04:58

It makes sense, right...

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : January 1st, 2014-05:17
.....if this is Miranda's birth year watch, then I am thinking its probably a 1956..... wow, i thought 1665 came much later....but hell, if that is what Miranda says...must be true

it has definitely been considered

.....i think there is such a rich vein of watches from Rolex from this date, you are almost spoilt for choice. Is there any specific reference that grabs your attention? Submariner? Sea-Dweller? GMT? Explorer? Milgauss? So many fabulous vintage versions o... 

The good news is that you are out of the gilt era, so

With the matte dials, you will save a lot. There are some very interesting watches to get: 1675 MK 1 matte dial, 5512 / 13, 1016... If you want to go to the hyped models, then you will have the Seadwellers, MK II with brown dial ( 68, Joe? ). Daytonas, to...
