Loving the GMT!!...
Is this your new one, the one you told me where waiting for? Bezel looks amazing - the bakerlite or resin?, infact the whole set, with box and papers is stunning!
IMO that model is THE best GMT in the world!!
cheers Tony
p.s. did your last one find a home?? or is it looking for one? 
Pre and Post IGOTT improvised GTG.
Our IGOTT II was not only a celebration of modern watches, as it gave us the opportunity to share some delicious Vintage pieces. Here are some excellent examples which come from the collection of IGOTT members. Before the gathering in Vegas, a nice array ...
Amazing Rolexes
Truly a fantastic collection of Rolexes all at two places. I fear my favorite may be the Triple 6 Submariner with the double red lines of text. When are you and the family coming back to visit? Did you know our weather is like this all the time here in Ca...
Each of them is really tempting, Patrick.
The good news is that they all have a strong charm, but they don't all cost an arm... When will I come back? The sooner, the better... Next year, I think. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Great Pictures Nicolas my friend!!
Thanks for sharing! You were in good company as a few of those belong to my friend!! No names mentioned but definitely his 4 line and 6542!! Very nice display of vintage beauties!! Next time I'll bent here with some of my children!! Best- Ken
The 6542 is not his, actually.
But you have a sharp eye, for sure. I do hope that next time you'll be there? Are you living in California? We have to arrange something, next time, definitely. Best, Nicolas.
Next time perhaps
Nicolas-- Next time perhaps--I am from Los Angeles and now live on East Coast. Too funny--small world--I know the 6542 as well. Too few examples around and each has a distinct look or mark to it which makes it recognizable to those who look carefully!! A ...
Beautiful pieces, Nico.
I'm sure you have enjoyed a lot in Las Vegas. Thanks for sharing. Vte
More than you can imagine.
Not only Vegas, well, for the ambiance and for sharing our passion with so many great friends, yes, but what I saw of California did please me a lot. Best, Vicente. Nicolas.
Don't forget I have a BIG imagination :)
California is a very interesting place, no doubt. Best. Vte
Many Thanks Nico
superbly photographed. Good to see the vintages and what superb and rare examples.That Gmt is to die for.I like the moderns but enjoy the vintages as well especially Rolex's.Cheers.
Thank you for your kind comments, Dreamer8.
This Vintage Rollies are dramatically addictive. Once you start, it is difficult to stop. Best, Nicolas.
Dirty, scratched, dented and re-polished.
For vintage, all these elements are not considered defects and not necessarily devalue the watch. Further, they adds uniqueness on the watches. You can't say the same for new watches - because they are defects. Regards Ling
I need to come back to take pics of the other beauties, my friend.
A pity I didn't have more time. But at least, I have a good reason to come back there. Best, Nicolas.
Not much one can add....
They have an aura.... Speechless. I have to take my NSA off now and find a vintage Rolex to wear!!
Addiction...
I can't imagine how it would have turned if you were there, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Absolutely amazing to catch a glimpse..
of these wonderful pieces and nice pics. too. When you see such fine examples it makes it almost impossible for us newbies to ever get a hold of one in such condition. Again, the Vlad strikes and makes us drool.
Tough, not impossible, Fernando.
It is a question of patience and homework. If you really want to get one of them, it is far from being impossible. Tempted? Best, Nicolas.
Well, not my favourite, but spectacular, yes.
My favourite among them? The 6542. Then, the 6538 4 lines. Well, to say the truth, it is too hard to pick one out of them... Best, Nicolas.
simply stunning collection of vintage Rolex!
argh..hating myself for missing IGOTT! love them dials and the bubble!
amazing rolex vintage watches amanico, thanks for posting
The vintage roelxes have a big magic, but these ones are just fabulous. Wasn't a 6062 with the moonphase present ??? Thanks for sharing best regards georges
Wow Nico
I haven't seen such beautiful vintage Rolex's since... we had lunch! LOL. It's nice to see a little vintage love at IGOTT. The Bakelite bezel GMT is to die for.
I was thinking the same, Eitan. :)
While in L.A, I had our Londonian GTG Lunch in mind... I can't imagine how the L.A GTG would be with our Baron friend. I may soon get a nice surprise, by the way. Something close to a piece I fell in love with, when we met in London, and a piece of yours....
Yes, and another hint ...
The piece of yours with which I totally fell in love with... You have the Chrono, in NOS condition, I found the time only, in good condition. Are you seeing, now? Best, Nicolas.
Yes, I was lucky on this one...
As you know, I hunt it for a very long time, now... The Chrono and the time only side by side? It will be a " net first "! End of next week, my friend... It will be long! Best, Nicolas.
It is just a matter of time before you fall, my friend...
You have all the symptoms... Best and thanks for your nice words, Blomman. Nicolas.
That is what I am worried about, my friend…
As I know myself and recognize the symptoms… ALL the symptoms! Best Blomman
There is much less diversity than in the Vintage JLC, BUT
There are much more variations on a same reference... Look at the GMTs, for example, or the Subs... And the problem is that the budget is much more important... But I can tell you that the pleasure they will bring you is immense, as you could experience i...

No, Tony. Not mine...
Mine is on Patrice's wrist, now, and I locked the 6542 I told you... But it will take some time to fund it. This 6542, the one of this post, is belonging to a good friend of mine. Agreed that it is the most exciting GMT... After all, it is a Pussy Galore!...
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Beautiful rolexes, great close-ups and pictures! They certainly are the eye candy! They almost look too precious to touch...I love the colored ones - they just have such a vintage-y feel to them. Thanks for the post. I didn't see if you said which one was...
Welcome here, Iclark.
It is hard to resist to the appeal of each of them, indeed. The good thing with these Vintage is that each of them is very special, almost unique, due to their patina. Which one do I prefer? I mentionned it... The 6542, certainly because I'm more a GMT fa...
Vegas is my kind of place !
It would have been a VERY costly event and I m not just talking watches !!!...
Funny, I brought almost the same GMT with me, in Vegas, too. ;)
Funny picture, Steven. Best, Nicolas.
Impressive pieces Nicolas!
The big crowns are undeniably awesome! And the last one, the 6542 is sublime! I'm sure you had lots of fun with all those pieces Cheers, Sam
I came back in France with a lot of sensations in my poor head.
And some new dreams to turn into reality. Happy? Yes, defintely. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Phoaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Rolex orgies....dont you just love em as if I wasn't jealous enough already!! Thanks Nic...
Please, tell me why =)
Why does a small piece of metal make us smile? How is it that faded colors cause so much satisfaction? How come a light reflection on a domed plexi brings us light into our eyes? Congrats on such beautiful pieces my friend!
He he, yes indeed!
But a romantic virus! One that speaks of big challenges and big achievements, of climbing the highest mountain, of times when man used to fly on open planes... and their dearest watch remained by their side, faithful... By the way, two words come to my mi...
Couldn't say it better, Rene. Time is an artist, and Patina is its masterpiece. ;)
Un fuerte abrazo a tu tambien Amigo... Wish I will be able to be in Mexico soon! Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-06-28 22:51:52
