Day 2...

Jan 04, 2017,21:33 PM
 

It is of course , overwhelming to see that many watches at the same time but the good thing is that we had the whole weekend. So there were of course time to talk watches to collectors and not just being overwhelmed with so many watches during the weekend.


It is great to finally meet a lot of internet and social media friend with the same interest and passion and share their thoughts and knowledge of vintage watches, especially vintage Rolex.

I'm really happy to finally be able to meet some of the forum member here, some that actually also got me into Vintage Rolex by reading their passionate post about their watches.












a very unusual 9K YG 6567 Oyster Perpetual










An unusual Milgauss reference 6543..











Notice that crown guard.. Not just any ordinary 5512..







A beautiful full-spec 5508 from 1958

And lunch was served...










a pair of incredible Longines 13ZN









A "Rolex" Panerai 3646







Some military Omega were there also





Omani 1665, 1675 Double Swiss with Swiss T<25 and a nice Mk1 Oyster Paul Newman Daytona




































The offering for dinner...



18K Black dial 6239 Paul Newman Daytona



Tropical plater



The most brown matte dial I've ever seen.. 



I couldn't say and describe much about that weekend, as it is still overwhelming for me even just to pick the photograph to post here.

I just hope that everyone here can enjoy the photos and watches I've posted. And I hope that I'll get to see more of the forum member here in the future

Cheers & Happy New Year everyone


Sam

Bali, probably not the place where you think you'd get to see many Vintage Rolex. True, normally it isn't. With the exception of the first week of December in 2016. The first weekend of December 2016, Vintage Rolex Asylum celebrated their 3rd Anniversary ...
