Hello, Nicolas


Back again after a long time! 

Superb pre Explorer, as reference 6098 & 6298 are my favourite from the 50's. Dials of those years are splendid, simple and clean, and this one with a red line is really nice.

Hope I can post my 6298 soon

Un abrazo

Francisco

With a red line. I don't know this reference very well, to say the least, but if all is correct, it is just sublime. Enjoy, Nicolas ...  

Beautiful!!

1948ish?

Or very early 50's.

of course the serial number would date it

I had collected Rolexes from the late twenties to late forties. I was told, but cannot be absolutely certain, but the small crown on the dial was not in use from 1950 on. I had a similar piece in steel and gold with an engine turned bezel which was very n... 

That dial is sublime!

Agree sublime beauty

I would like to see it on a riveted oyster bracelet, probably a straight ends one. Thanks for sharing. René

Me too!

Ohhh, let's keep hunting then!

Sure! ;)

Hello my friend Francis!! How nice to read you!

So long time without having your news. I wish you are doing well and I’m happy you are coming back to our place. Un abrazo fuerte mi amigo! Abel

What a beautiful watch dear Nicolas! So charming and …

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 21st, 2023-03:24
… the cool little red touch adds to that charm together with hand set and indexes. Are you adding it to your collection? I love those red touches which Rolex used to display on their dials in the past. I share here my 5031 Date Just ref 5031 from my birth...  

Alas, no, querido amigo... I am after something else. And I have to make some sacrifices.

 
 By: amanico : September 21st, 2023-06:31
This Date Just is super lovely! Un abrazo, amigo Abel. Nicolas

I understand you well dear Nicolas. We have priorities ... and we can´t have everything we like. That´s the way in the collecting sport ... whichever the object we collect.

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 21st, 2023-13:07
Regrettably for us there are so many temptations! Lol! I´m happy you like my old DJ. Un abrazo para ti mi querido amigo Nicolas! Abel

End December.
