PASSION 2011 IMAGES!!! BURN!
Hereby the images....
Woooooow it was mindblowing. Such quality of watches and different styles. We see more and more love for details and quality. And love for special 'style' of watches. Not just expansive references. But watches with that special emotion. A great patina, feature, inlay.... all watches where brought together with great dedication.
This year we don't do group shots and images of people. Times have changed. Sadly.
So we are sorry to only show you the watches. As the meeting itself wasn't about the watches mainly. Not about how mint is mine, who has what..,. BUT about great talks and total relaxed atmosphere of friendship. No ego's this weekend. No competition.
That is what Philipp and i are most proud of! That special atmosphere of vintage Rolex lovers who celebrate their love at Passion 2011.
Woooooooaaaw only into vintage Rolex for 5 years now. Imagine what great fun i had till now.
Thanks again our Passion friends for all the positive vibe and great watches you brought along! It feels like a great honour to be among such friends!
Enough words...
Well the first blow came very hard.....
As said a lot of details this weekend:
And then this.... square crownguard 5512 in mint condition. It does not get much rarer then that! Look at the condition!
Big crowns...

The 6200 are so crazy amazing. It's looks stupid when i write they are rare. But they are .. and in this quality real rare. But again that is Passion. To much great watches.

Well, to start, congrats Bernhard, and thanks a loot for posting here, too... It is an immense pleasure to see all this stuff, mate. And not only Rolexes, but also, as you said very rare TR 900 in impeccable condition, as well as an " Amagnetic " PP, ref ...

Amazing GTG and amazing collection of Rolex watches
What a joy to see so many great pieces all in one place. Thank you very much for taking the time to prepare the pictures and publishing them here for us all to enjoy. It would be sill to ask if any one piece or a theme struck you in any special way. Thank...
Bernhard has some of the most exquisite Vintage Rolex, Bill.
I doubt he has a strong favourite among his Babies, but I would be curious to read his answer... Best, my friend. Nicolas. PS: Bring your Rollies with you, we'll show them what we can do.
I prepare myself but still
I got a heart attack! This is some crazy collection. The gathering must have last a whole day. Thanks Bernard. Best Tyler
Vintage heaven!
I don't really know what's what or their model nos. but I can appreciate these beauties from the past and the passion of their owners. I do like the "not so rare" PNs and the Killys are so cool along with the big crowns! What a show! Thanks for sharing th...

I need a mop
To wipe the drool off my Keyboard! Great Post! Thanks for giving us the wonderful pictures!
Very nice...
Still trying to figure out which one is which, and which one is my favorite. Too many favorites...
Wow!
Every year It gets better and better. Last years posts were awesome too. Some gorgeous timepieces to enjoy. Thanks for sharing these vintage marvels. Vte
this is just straight up awesome.
No other way to describe it. Also, as a relative newbie and a younger member, I think I may be one of the latest victims to the Paul Newman... The black bezel edition is to die for.
What an amazing GTG.
Thanks for all of the wonderful pictures of the rarities, most of which i will never see in the metal in my lifetime. Aloha, Bob
Burning!!!
Indeed, what a blast! As the reports on the previous Rolex passion meetings! just amazing when you gather some of the most incredible pieces and collections in the world! The Rolexes, the vintage PAMs...kind of total Eclipse!... All fantastic, for me the ...
The Tudor are much rarer, Matt. :)))
Aaah, by the way, Vintage PAM is something which doesn't exist. PAM was introduced when Vendome bought Panerai, in March '97. So, you can say " Vintage Panerai ", but not Vintage PAM. This is a mistake a lot of people make. Best, Nicolas.
OK!
thanks for the piece of eductaion your honour, I meant vintage or original Panerai as you want! I doubt there weren't any Tudors around as I have some pics of them on my drive from the last 2 year's reports! I guess they were hiding!...maybe more pics to ...
As a good fortune teller I am ...
I see a Vintage Rolex in your close future, Blomman. Am I cheating? Best, Nicolas.
It's not even money back...
On that bet! Well, maybe not this year - but soon, YES! Best, my psychic friend! Blomman
Vlad can read into minds... Do never forget. ;)

WHY!!
honestly this is a question always pop up in my mind when i see rolex GTG... they are unlike anyother GTG... loaded with lots of beauty and charm, and the passion and neat taste of collectors extends to include other brands, in this report we saw vintage ...
