📖 About This Reference
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Reference 1008, known as the Zephyr, was introduced in the 1950s and remained in production until the early 1970s. Positioned within the Oyster Perpetual line, it offered a distinctive aesthetic that set it apart from other models of its era, characterized by its unique bezel design.
This reference typically features a 34mm Oyster case, often in stainless steel or two-tone configurations. It is powered by an automatic, self-winding movement, consistent with the Oyster Perpetual designation. The crystal is generally acrylic, and the watch maintains the water-resistant properties expected of an Oyster case.
For collectors, the Reference 1008 Zephyr is notable for its specific design elements, particularly the engine-turned bezel and the unique handset, which contribute to its individual character within the extensive Rolex vintage catalog. Its production span and variations in dial and bezel configurations offer a nuanced collecting experience.

Rolex 1018 Salmon.
Here is a watch I could have bought, but I have a doubt on the hands, which, I think, should be " Alpha Hands " in gold. The thing with the 1018 is the slim case and lugs, plus, here, the dial, salmon, which is really sublime. And, cherry on the cake, it is from 1964, which is a great year ( for me
Rolex 2020 novelties: Part 2 (Oyster Perpetual and Sky-Dweller)
As stated in the first part, this year Rolex has gone well beyond the "simple" renewal of the Submariner collection.
