A nice Oyster Date

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500 Long Index Blue Dial from 1971 isn't one we often see. The case measures 34 mm and the watch is powered by automatic caliber 1570 . How do you like it? I'm not really a Rolex guy and I'm not very much into blue d

I blame my wife..haha.

I inherited a 1978 Rolex OP Date 1500 several years ago. Had it fully serviced early last year and was going to put it away since i had very little interest in watches. But the wife encouraged me to wear it on Independence Day 2020....our engagement date.

Absolutely! And this post most helpful to a fellow struggling with which Rolex should be my first...

For the longest while I felt the Explorer (1) was the Rolex for me. But which one—the latest iteration, with lumed 3,6,9, edged the watch away from its original versatility, I felt. And then, which movement, size, etc. But recently—last year or so—I've be

Do the math

Say 8000 for the Rolex Ave 2000 working hrs in a year Hmm ... $4 per hour? Don’t think so. More realistic guess might be Say $1000 overhead/equipment etc And $500 materials With $1500 labor @ $50/hr = 30 hrs = one person/week And $1500 profit Thus $3500 f

Bruno, I’m very happy to belong to your friends circle and extremely thankful for your efforts

This 79220N is indeed very rare and I was scanning Ebay and Chrono24 too for a few months, without success. In my humble opinion I think there are far less made then 3000. I asked a few friend AD’s and most they received in the production period was max 2

I think you can go with a crocodile/alligator strap black or brown with a Rolex buckle if you are more of a dressy guy. If you are more of a sport guy then you can play with different color vintage straps with a standard buckle. You can then take the time

Rolex GMT Master 2 - Reference 116710. The "Bruiser"

It has been bothering me for a long time. I look at my collection of Rolex and something just keeps bothering me. I look at my collection of JLC, and oddly the same nagging feeling is just NOT there. I have been trying very hard to figure out what has bee

You are rigth, Abel!

It is really sad, as you said. All these shops, most of them do not exist anymore, and the few that remains have lost their old charm. I am 51 years old, and I started very young with the Rolex passion. My brother (10 years older) had a ref 1500, silver d
