Perfect. This, or something closely related, has forever been my vintage Rolex desire. No Daytonas, just a “basic” Sub time capsule. That’s the ultimate.

agreed - so often the rare pieces are rare for a reason - the popular pieces are the good pieces

agreed - so often the rare pieces are rare for a reason - the popular pieces are the good pieces - been reading the allegations against goldberger on his white gold daytona.

Funny you mention Goldberger, I just watched the second Talking Watches with him earlier today.

I was not aware of the drama re the Daytona. What’s the issue?

I found it; Jose strikes again.

I don’t read his blog often.

By: Francoamerican : January 14th, 2023-06:09

Do you think the allegations are true?

There doesn’t seem to be any question that the watch was restored, this was eventually disclosed.

By: Jay (Eire) : January 14th, 2023-13:13

And I guess the other point is if the replacement parts did not exist because the watch was a unicorn (1 of 1) then where did those parts come from. I’m sure some vintage Rolex folks here may have a view.

If it was a 250 Ferrari remade parts would be typical but watches are definitely a different animal.

Thanks, fully agreed

That’s the reason why I love my two « 13 »: one maxi and one gilt and I’m done 😉

What a charm!

By: amanico : January 13th, 2023-17:42

Yes both my gilt and this maxi dial 13 are giving me immense pleasure every time I wear them

Yes the patina is just perfect for me : a beautiful vanilla cream patina, not too pronounced but quite charming 😍 ...

Would you remind me again the reference number of yours? That patina is really to die for! Wow

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 14th, 2023-13:54
