Rolex

I can't resist to the pleasure of sharing 2 pictures of this beauty, with you all.

Two quick pics of a watch which is very difficult to photography, because of its domed plexy, and because of its sublime dial.

Not only the watch is incredibly beuatiful, but I could afford and get it thanks to one of us, who was of great help in the deal.

So yes, to me, this watch is very important.

Here are the 2 quick pictures:

1/ On its papers ( it also came with its original box ! ) :



2/ Lying on a marroon bed, to enhance its magic café / chocolate brown dial:



I'm very happy to have been able to get my 3rd Explorer, and my first Explorer I!

Thank you, you know who you are.

I love it so much that I think I would have umped on it, even without Box and papers!

Thanks, my friend.

Nicolas.

Another nice piece to your collection Nicolas ... but i fear it's getting very very complicated for me now.
Do you have any macro-shots on the dial?
You should do a post about your current collection (and the ones still to get) Nicolas, would make it easier to understand the how and why ... .

But i fear it will be a never ending story ...

What a beautiful watch. Terrific.
Thanks for sharing it.

A terrific beauty.

I had to get it!

Thanks for your kind comments.

Best,

Nicolas

But it is not an easy thing to do, as this last catch is really difficult to take in picture ( reflections everywhere, and the borwn dial is so complex ).

I still have 7 or 8 Rolex to get, to close my collection....

Not an endless story, but a very complicated one.

Nicolas

When did Rolex start using the word 'superlative'?!?!

Nicholas, beautiful watch!

Superlatvie has, as far as I know, always been associated with Chronometer, since early 60ies.

I have to check that...

Thanks for your nice words, my friend.

Much like a good conversation over a good cup of coffee.

Great to see you now have a match for your wife's lovely 1016.

Enjoy it hermano, and my compliments to the gentleman Purist who helped you with the aquisition.

Abrazo,

Alex

I bought my wife's Explo 1016 in 2004.

Since this moment, I know that I have to get one.

I always had an eye on them, since I found this one.

Charming, this is the correct word, Hemrano.

Thanks a lot!

Best,

Nicolas

The dial is amazing...

Like a painting in a Museum, you have to dive into it, to feel all the beauty of it.

An amazing find.

Best, my friend.

Nicolas

And to get it with complete box and papers. It's
a stunning catch.
Exp I is also one of my fav.
I just love it's simplicity.
Thanks for sharing

When utility and aesthetics join together here is the outcome.

Thanks!

Best,

Nicolas

...and such a nice 6610 with it's complete set is a true collector's dream !

         Cheers

So, it will really be an almost complete set.



Now, I also have to catch a correct bracelet for this Beauty.

Thanks, my friend.

Nicolas

A great find and a good story to remember it by.

Yes, I bought a 1016, and a superb one, but I gifted it to my wife 6 years ago...

The patina on this watch is a true masterpiece.

Thanks for your nice words.

Best,

Nicolas

a watch is just meant to have a specific owner.

 

This one clearly gives you much pleasure.....congratulations. It is a beauty.

I' am happy that the Karma of this watch crossed mine.



Very Best, my friend, and once again ... THANK YOU.

Nico.
