Love the 1016… waiting to find the right one.

By: RabidManatee : July 11th, 2024-00:02

Fantastic examples all, but of course.

Yes, highly recommended vintage Rolex.

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-06:25

Proof that simple can be beautiful

By: JohnFM : July 11th, 2024-03:06

Just the essentials, nothing extra.

Very well said!

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-06:25

Wow, the 1016 is one of my ultra-grails!

By: clemens m : July 11th, 2024-06:19

Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable spending the current prices they command and I also still lack the deep knowledge that is necessary before buying such a watch. Nothing worse than spending a 5-digit sum on a frankenwatch. But maybe someday eventuall...

Yes, I understand, but it is not too hard finding an all correct one.

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-06:26

If you know how to assess all the little details that make or break a correct example. ;)

By: clemens m : July 11th, 2024-08:36

But there are enough ressources online to gather the necessary knowledge to do so, you are right.

Yes, it is really doable.

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-10:06

Ah the patina!!!

By: Richard M : July 11th, 2024-11:33

Nico, can it get any better than the color and perfection of that dial? I don’t think so …

Well my 6610 s quite cool...

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-13:05

...

Yes, the canvas strap alone

By: Richard M : July 11th, 2024-15:02

Swings it for me. Also the simpler dial text. Did I mention the radium?

And the lollipop second hand! ;)

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-15:05

Really nice example

By: andrea~ : July 11th, 2024-17:00

Thanks for looking, Andrea.
