Rolex

Air / Earth / Sea? Both share the sense of Adventure, the celebrity, and ... the lack of crownguards. So, what kind of Rolex fan are you? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2010-10-09 22:35:23 This message has been edited by amanico...  

Incoming and my first Sub. Please pardon the poor image. I'll post better pics once it arrives. This message has been edited by joeyza on 2010-10-09 03:16:38...  

The dial is superb. Congrats! Best, Nicolas

I saw an older man wearing one at my favorite guitar shop... a patina'd well worn real world watch. I took a mental picture and figured out which model it was with the help of this wonderful site. If I were to go vintage, today anyway, the 5508.

These 6536 / 6538 / 5508 are really great watches! Powerful and full of charm... Classics! Best, Nicolas

I should not ever start with the vintage stuff...... but...... They look so good all worn in.

Hi Nicolas, lovely vintage Rolex combination of yours and a challenging question for us! My favourite is James Bond and the Submariner (sea); actually it was this association that brought me to overcome my "Rolexophobia" . My second best candidate would b... 

This "earthen" pic should have been in the first post already Very grim determination on his face, the villain provocatingly laid-back. Bond fighting underground in a missile silo (from "The World is not enough"). Sorry for the Omega on his wrist...  

Rolex is a very good watch, and Omega ROCKS! Including some from the moon! Et voila, mon ami....! HAGWE! Thanks! =:^{D>

On the contrary: most of my quality watches are Omegas and virtually all of my vintage ones. The "sorrry" was a smiling comment to Nicolas´ post in the Rolex forum, that I "spoilt" with this non-Rolex pic . Best regards, anaesdoc...  

It will be interesting to see why. Because of the " personnage ", or because of the watch? Best, Anaesdoc, and thanks for your input. Nicolas.

Sir Edmund Hillary was a real person, i.e. he lacks the (artificial) charisma of movie characters and is muss less to see on the screen as they are. Besides he grew old whereas the actors stay forever young if we watch them in their old movies . Pussy Gal... 

...i join also Bond of course. Best Matthias

I was waiting for you, or Joe, or Jeff to mention Paul Newman! Of course, my friend, you can add this Star to the other Stars! Best, Nicolas

You've got all the bases covered with those three beauties. Cheers, Pete

Well, there are other pieces to include, such as the Explo II " Freccione " or the Daytona, or some themas to develop such as the Explos or GMTs. But that is another story. Best, Nicolas

And, yes, there is a "that's what she said!" in there somewhere. Thanks! =:^{D>

but I am looking for vintage subs then I saw your pic. OK I change my mind. Hail to Sir Edmund. What are they going for these days. Please PM me PS: Your E1 is to die for. Tyler

Add a Daytona and a Milgauss, and I think the basics are totally covered. The Explo I, being 6610, 1016 or any other few references are a bit underated, due to their smaller size. Underated, but not by me, as I'm in serious love with it. Nice choice! Best... 

James Bond Sub for me, Vlad dearest! Followed by Ms. Galore's GMT, and then the Explorer. My favorite scene from Goldfinger below. Best. Bond. EVER! And, boy, that Sean Connery. Hubba hubba! From Los Angeles with love! *giggle* Daos

...all of the above! Connery was the best Bond IMO and this watch was the best of the Bond watches over the years. Cheers, Daos

The best "Bond Girl" slash "Double Agent" in all of the Bond films. The above is stated as an opinion, not a fact.

James for ever! You know that I love diver watches, and this 5508 is just awesome! But I´d be really happy with any of them Best hermano. Lobato, Emilio Lobato

Chuck Yeager on the Rolex side and Buzz Aldrin on the Omega side, since they are real people and both watch brands have been featured in Bond films and whatnot also. See what happens after sampling a glass of Pinot Noir and one of Moscato? Wheee! Thanks! ... 

6542 ;-) Reneo

Finally someone who put the Galore in the pole position! Love your vote! Best, Nicolas

Ian Flemings book Goldfinger was published over 50 years ago....time really flies... I wonder how he came up the name of her gang 'The cement mixers" ..cheerz

That they are 50 / 40 years old! Best. Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, Nice work and excellent theme here especially narrating to all those movie stars..LOLOLO,wonderful job here. Nice collection of air,earth and water..... BHK9

And if I have time, I will also work on the Explorer thema. You know that these Vintage Rollies are in my mind for a long time, now. Thanks for your nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas

what an awesome trio...and a nice collection theme ! Here's my celebrities trio: Steve Mc Queen - Paul Newman - James Bond This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2010-10-10 05:44:11...  

Very nice watches, they look fantastic. Vte

My answer to your question is yes...all of them. However.... Which watch is the coolest watch in the world? No question....for cool.... no question. I don't even need to say. Jeff knows. When you get one on the wrist, even you felt the power!! The Jedi's ... 

Superbly written, my friend. I can feel all your enthusiasm on these Vintage Rolex! Oooh yes, your PN is really attractive, dangerous tempting and powerful. There are nights when I wake up, febrile, haunted by it! I never knew that the DRSD Mk I ir II can... 

.... the sphere of air is filled up with non-Rolex and insted, if it can be counted as one, an IWC Pilot Chrono in view that it is anti-magnetic. Apologized for my ignorance but is Rolex GMT Master or GMT Master II anti-magnetic? If not, can we consider i... 

And, for sure, the Sub. I mean the Vintage ones, of course the moderns. No need to apologize, it is not that evident! Best, Nicolas

Although probably more Steve McQueen as the Explorer 2 1655 is still the watch I remember as a kid, and still the one I lust after now. Andrew H

my favorite, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is my 1964 Sub 5513...  

In love with '64 watches! So you're a Sub Guy? Cool one, Sir. Best, Nicolas.

Most of the answers focus on celebrities, when you focus on your childhood, and you're absolutely right! Well, I guess that when others refer to James Bond, they also refer to a part of their childhood. But the Explo II so called Freccione has something m...

Well, heeeerm... Yes, my watch! Best, Nicolas

wasn't it he, rather than Hillary (didn't he wear a Smiths), who wore the Explorer? Whatever the case, I love the sense of adventure that the Explorer embodies--and its scientific heritage (was it not part of the geophysic year like JLC and IWC?) that it ... 

Suposedly yes it was he who wore the Explorer!

As for the IGY ( International Geophysic Year ), yes, the Explorer is contemporanean of the JLC. The IWC came later, IMO. The other one to be contemporanean is the Railmasrer Omega, if I'm not wrong. Yes, 1958 was an exciting year! Best, Nicolas

Can't choose....hell why choose!!! Enjoy! Bernhard

Difficult, if not impossible to choose, but if you point at me with a Walther PPK, then the choice would be obvious... Fuerte abrazo, hermano! Alejandro

I would take the Explorer, no doubt, but I have to confess that your "PEPSI" GMT looks stunning. What a wonderful patina on that dial. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Best. Vte

Que va! I'm happy you played the card of the outisders! Best, Amigo. Nicolas.
