Rolex

No, I didn't mean Philippe Patek......

 

I have been hunting this watch for quite a while. It has been third time lucky for me now, as the first two PPs that I found were snatched away at the very last moment. But the wait has been worth it. The watch below joined the stable last week, and I am delighted with it. The red is more pink than the ones I have seen, but most definitely a pink hue. I now have the Mk1 and Mk4.....  Very happy guy

 

 

fantastic watch !!!

Pinkie Pink?



Superb catch, my friend.

Just hope that you'll post more pics!

Best,

Nicolas

PS: I may have something very exciting in the weeks to come...

Ya know, like the Omega PloProf.  Nice pics!  Always enjoy the friendly rivalry between two of the best watch brands on the market, Rolex and Omega.  Thanks!   =:^D

Are you starting a SD collection ?

AMAZING Collection you have here, Joe.

I'm literally puzzled.

How many legends did you gather in only one picture?

That is beautifully crazy!

Go on, my friend, it is also for our greatest pleasure!

Best,

Very cool tool watch! One of the rarest Vintage Rolex, made in 1967... I think about 100 pieces only!!!

Yes, 1967.

As i understand it, most of these watches were not actually sold but rather given direct to various dive teams. As a result, given that many of the supposed 100 watches were genuinely used, quite a few became badly beaten up and did not survive. Would be very interesting to see just how many are around.

Nice watch!

Haven't seen one of these red lettered Submariners in person lately.

This one looks like it's in great shape! Presumably even with the original backing and crown.

Lovely MkI PPDRSD! 

I only have the humble MkII Patent Pending version... but I think there were only 99 MkIIs made, so they are just slightly rarer..!

(Do I sound jealous..?)

MW

but justifiably so!

 

Would love to get a picture of those two together

I'm sure we could manage a photo opportunity!
