It's noteworthy when you collect the most quirky Rolex....?

It's rare to witness Rolex being 'playful'......but an intense study of the 'blue-dial' model of the Milgauss is a welcome contrast to their more 'serious' designs which grace my collection... My original Submariner 1987 Ref 168000 My 40 Rose Gold YachtMa

Not much of a Rolex fan but thanks to the knowledge passed by fellow purists I ended up adding 168000 Submariner to the collection

Found one in Hk complete with tags, box, papers etc .. In between vintage and modern classic ..

Happy Zubmariner-ing! : )

In the past I was considered an odd one chasing 168000s. The 168000 was a bit of an urgly duckling. I added a 9.3m serial 168000 complete with box, booklets and papers back in 2012. It went straight to RSC for an overhaul, while keeping the dial and hands
