Crazy prices and I don’t blame them. First SD and double red for indicating SD Sub. And of coz tritium! They don’t make doubles anymore.

What’s your first vintage Rolex and 'story'?

It's been a nostalgic Saturday and I have been reminiscing a bit today about the past and how I got to where I am with the watches. Got to say it’s been an incredible journey and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. The failed bids, the missed opportunities, the...  

Very interesting topic, my friend. You would be surprised to see how many of us started this crazy hobby of ours with a Rolex. As for my first vintage Rolex, it had to be a GMT MASTER.

Why? Because of that... Thomas Magnum wore his father's 1675. I was 14 years old when I saw this watch. I promised to myself that I will get one, one day. And I kept my word.... ... Beyond my expectations! Best, my friend. Nicolas ...  

Merci mon ami

I have the 1665 and 1675 in full sets which has been my criteria for acquiring vintage Rolexes over the years. There are just too many fakes and Frankensteins out there and even if I was exploring a set it poses some challenges. I took my time, did my res... 

The SDs are great mate

The watch and the words. Best, Daniel

Here is my first Rolex

A 1016, classic, unobtrusive, never wrong. It has been with me on mountain bike trails and in business meetings, literally anywhere in the past 15 years. While today it is perceived my many far less iconic than a Sub or GMT, I think it brilliantly shows R... 

Thank you for sharing Daniel
