Rolex

For years I have toyed with the idea of finding a vintage Rolex. However, this was easier said than done. First, as I am far from a Rolex expert, I found the models and variations confusing. I wanted a nice collectors piece, but did not care about the var...  

This one has a superb patina, almost amber. Yes, you made the right choice, while deciding to buy it. Can't wait for more pics, my friend. ENJOY, and welcome to the Vintage Rolex World. Nicolas

the watch has a very strong character All the best, Steve

Is this the beginning of a new love story? Do you get the bug? Best, Nicoolas

I would get very anxious to sell if I had a bunch of watches that were very similar in my safe. It definitely has shed a light onto how others can become addicted though. For those with a collector's mentality, the endless variations whether by production...

... with feet first. Lovely patina and gorgeous, almost amber colour on the markers... wauw Congratulations on that beauty Steve I have been looking for a red sub myself for a while. But I also find it difficult..difficult due finding a trusted dealer. Di...

I Love red too

I'm impressed by this watch, that's exactly the kind of patina I like on vintage Rolex ! Cheers Jeff

Has been a long search but I think I've found a winner....  

A winning choice, IMO. Best, Nicolas

fantastic, what an incredibly beautiful watch. Love the combo with the tan strap...

I know my new watches pretty well, but this is the most I've ever spent on vintage and Red Subs are particularly tricky to buy. Best, Steve
