Really are crazy cool ! Seeing these pieces in pictures are really nice but to be able to see it live in metal, is much greater feeling Best, Sam

Woahhh!

Now this is a gathering 100% to my liking. High quality. Diverse. This GTG has it all. Underline. Gloss. Tropical, 4L, PN (in Gold which is pretty rare in itself), nice GMTs. Actually it reminds me a little of the upcoming Christies sale in a few days in ... 

Diverse...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:05
That's the exact word for it… Unfortunately not all pieces by these people were brought to this GTG, you would've seen more Daytonas and some special issued Rolex in it And some pieces are quite similar to the pieces in the upcoming Christie's auction, yo... 

Incredible line up

 
 By: Spellbound : May 1st, 2014-15:27

Abel..

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:07
It's hard to resist when you see so many great pieces live And what's great about it is that I was able to compare and see more variation in condition of these watches, especially the gilt dials Hope you have a wonderful weekend Sam

Superb post Sam

 
 By: Iceman : May 1st, 2014-22:20
We had such a ball that evening. So much passion and genuine love for vintage Rolex. So proud to be amongst you guys. Great photos skills too, Sam i can imagine how good it might be if the lights where better. Thanks for sharing. Best Iceman

Thanks my friend!!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:08

Fabulous gathering of friends, watches and collectors....its what PuristS is all about

That is true Joe!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:10
What is best is to meet people with same passion on certain thing, for example Vintage Rolex That's why I enjoyed being here in PuristS forum Best, Sam

beautiful pieces!

 
 By: MattS : May 2nd, 2014-01:37
I love these tropical dials! thanks for sharing Matt

The Tropical dials

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:11
are really mesmerizing, especially seen under the sunlight Best, Sam

Always great meeting you Logan!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:13

This is watch pornography, at its finest! Absolutely love the vintage Daytona; they are really gorgeous!

Vintage Daytonas...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:14
Really are gorgeous, not just the PN ones but even the standard pieces has special charm of its own Best, Sam

Some Additional iPhone photos

A wrist shot of 2 amazing Daytona, the diamond one owned by a renowned Vintage Rolex collector 4 Beautiful Gold Rolexes 2 Tropical 5512s And here's for you Nicolas A very glossy black dial 5508 An always cool Mk4 DRSD Oman Gold Datejust Some better shots ...  

They're actually

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:58
Very delicious! It was actually my first encounter with an all original 6542… With the bakelite bezel, even though it's not I'm prime condition, it is a very spectacular watch I hope to be able to see yours in the future Best, Sam

We don't all agree with that, but for me, the 6542 is just one of the top 5 best vintage

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:05
Rolex... So you see how much I love this reference! Best, Sam. Nicolas

I can see that clearly Nicolas...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:31
So what's the other 4? Sam

Aaah, that is an interesting question...

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:38
Let's say four other Vintage Rolex GM Master? :) No, more seriously, I would say a Rolex Big Crown, for sure, 6200 or Tudor 7922 / 24, for example, an early Explorer, such as a 6350 Waffle dial or a 6610, a Milgauss, the 6541 or more realistically, a very... 

Great Selections!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:44
And great diversity as I can see Interesting choice between the last ones…. The Tudor Porsche and DRSD Mk2 PP.. Most would have easily chosen the DRSD but to add depth to the collection with the rest of the list, it would make it tough to choose between t... 

Well, when you have a 6200 or a 7924, do you really NEED another Sub?

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:46
Even if the Sub is a SD? While you don't have a chrono in tat top five list. So, the Tudor is cool. And that makes 2 Tudors, 3 Rolexes. I like this idea. Best, Nicolas.

That is true!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:48
It's a Submariner 2000 :) Yeah, I like that idea too! It covers all and makes it colorful and as I said, great depth to a collection Best, Sam

Now, if you ask me my top 10, I would add one or two more GMTs, one more Explo, a DRSD

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:53
MKII, and maybe a Vintage Dayto... But I can also sum my vision of the Perfect Vintage Rolex collection to three: 7924, 6542 and 6610. :) Best, Nicolas

To Sum Up a collection

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:57
Is really tough to do! I guess that's one last great challenge 10 is easy, well I don't have 10 watches, not to say vintage Rolex It would have been very tough time to narrow down my collection to only 3 pieces Best, Sam

That is one of our favourite game with Baron and Blomman.

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:59
Well, Blomman is out in this kind of game, as he cannot even think about that, but with Baron, well... We play quite well at this game! :) Best, my friend. Nicolas

It must be so much fun!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-01:01
I will try to make a list of my own then! Will be very tricky one and I will have some serious thinking about it Best, Sam

Can you imagine only 10 watches all brands included?

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-01:14
Now that is very challenging! Best, Nicolas

I've been trying that ...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-01:24
And it worked out become 12 And the more I thought about it, it became 15 LoL Really tough to do so And cannot imagine if really have to choose in real life Best, Sam

I'm still in need of much longer maturation

 
 By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-01:41
So still eager to learn and exposing myself to this world, and I look forward to do it here And hopefully by then I'll be able to narrow it down :) Best, Sam

Love to hear the latest from the Vintage Rolex Asylum Members.
