makes me want to get it back from the safe
But it is a well preserved example.
so bluetiful! cheers
Iām also a fan of Birdwell, particularly their terry cloth polos. Thanks for sharing the great vibes, Alex
By the way what kind of bracelet do you have with your various snowflakes ? I have a rolex riveted bracelet ( with the crown) also the bottom of the watch is marked rolex geneva, same for the crown .
To my knowledge there are a few but it seems like the most common seen for the 1970 to 1973 period was the 7836 folded links with a 282, 280 or a 380 end link (380B is a Tudor reference so maybe later). They also hand the Rolex logo on the buckle and blades. Later in the period 1974 to 1975 the Tudor logo was on the buckle with Tudor blades. But as always this is just an impression and variants are always out there.
