Considering the high prices vintage sport Rolex watches have reached in the last years, I feel it is worth considering other less explored...
... references of our beloved brand. This is the case of the Turn O Graph model which by some reason hasn´t received the attention it deserves from collectors I feel. Personally I am very fond of this not so popular model, and this reference 6609 from 195...
Great post Abel...
And I totally agree as it’s something that, amongst other Rolex’s, I have been looking at. The arrow flight markers are superb.
Good call, Abel. There still are some good vintage references to get, such as this one of yours, or the Air King, Ref 5500, and...

Nice pic Art...
My Grandfather bought this Rolex in the late 60’s while visiting my Mom who was in college in Montana. The story goes that he did not bring enough money and had to mail the difference once he got home. At that time it was $600.00 for the watch. Running ex...
Beautiful example you show dear Art!! It doesn´t surprise me that a good watchmaker can make it run so well as these old Rolex are so noble and reliable workhorses. That´s one of the ...
