Ian Flemings book Goldfinger was published over 50 years ago....time really flies...

And if I have time, I will also work on the Explorer thema.

You know that these Vintage Rollies are in my mind for a long time, now.



Thanks for your nice words, my friend.

Very nice watches, they look fantastic.

 

Vte

My answer to your question is yes...all of them. However....

 

Which watch is the coolest watch in the world?

 

No question....for cool.... no question. I don't even need to say. Jeff knows. When you get one on the wrist, even you felt the power!! The Jedi's light saber.

 

But....What is the top dog for me? These explorers are awesome watches to wear. The Explorer II with its orange hand, or as per your question one of the truly original 6610s...especially one with red writing.... there is something about them. A collection "needs" one for sure. Then of course you have the Subs, SDs and DRSDs. Put a 666 on your wrist and tell me that there isn't something very special about it...or a 1665....they have soul for sure, as does the 007. Indeed...

 

It is a well known fact that when you put a DRSD Mk1 or Mk2 on the wrist, you become more attractive to women (hard to imagine, I know, but true), your IQ rises by 30%, and almost certainly you can leap tall buildings in a single stride. My favourite... yes probably.... not much tops a Mk1 or Mk2 DRSD.

 

But the coolest watch in the world is definitely a Paul Newman. Everyone knows that.....

Superbly written, my friend.

I can feel all your enthusiasm on these Vintage Rolex!

Oooh yes, your PN is really attractive, dangerous tempting and powerful.

There are nights when I wake up, febrile, haunted by it!

I never knew that the DRSD Mk I ir II can be fatal with ladies, that is a very interesting " technical " input.

You will have to let me try, next time we meet!

To be honest, I tried to put in the spotlight some pieces which are generally underated when we speak about special Vintage Rolexes.

Best, my friend.

.... the sphere of air is filled up with non-Rolex and insted, if it can be counted as one, an IWC Pilot Chrono in view that it is anti-magnetic.  Apologized for my ignorance but is Rolex GMT Master or GMT Master II anti-magnetic? If not, can we consider it as a Pilot watch? You can also go beyong the sphere of Air and into Space using the Omega Moonwatch...haha.. cheers..

And, for sure, the Sub.

I mean the Vintage ones, of course the moderns.

No need to apologize, it is not that evident!

Best,

Nicolas

 

Although probably more Steve McQueen as the Explorer 2 1655 is still the watch I remember as a kid, and still the one I lust after now.

my favorite, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is my 1964 Sub 5513

In love with '64 watches!

So you're a Sub Guy?

Cool one, Sir.

Best,

Nicolas.

Most of the answers focus on celebrities, when you focus on your childhood, and you're absolutely right!

Well, I guess that when others refer to James Bond, they also refer to a part of their childhood.

But the Explo II so called Freccione has something more, compared  to these " Holy Birds ":  an original look.

It doesn't look like any other Rolex, indeed.

Now that you mentionned it, I feel guilty to not have put it in thise selection, as I'm strongly in love with it, too.

Best,

Nicoals

wasn't it he, rather than Hillary (didn't he wear a Smiths), who wore the Explorer?  Whatever the case, I love the sense of adventure that the Explorer embodies--and its scientific heritage (was it not part of the geophysic year like JLC and IWC?) that it also captures....

Jason

Suposedly yes it was he who wore the Explorer!

As for the IGY ( International Geophysic Year ), yes, the Explorer is contemporanean of the JLC.

The IWC came later, IMO.

The other one to be contemporanean is the Railmasrer Omega, if I'm not wrong.

Yes, 1958 was an exciting year!

Best,

Nicolas

Can't choose....hell why choose!!!

Enjoy!

Bernhard

Difficult, if not impossible to choose, but if you point at me with a Walther PPK, then the choice would be obvious...

Fuerte abrazo, hermano!
