That is what I call...
a superb collection. As we used to say in our childhood, you'have completed the album!
(Me refiero a que completaste el album de figuritas, y con las más dicifiles!)
Un gran abrazo, y felicitaciones!
The Summer 2014 Rolex GMT roll-call
So, it seems to me that its about time we did a full-lead GMT summer roll-call. Almost without realising it, my GMT collection has gained some volume....and I am still looking for one last piece. Here is my colourful GMT gang-of-four. Lets see your GMTs.....
For me, right now....
I want either 1675, 16700 or 16760 .....in that order. Fat Lady only made for 5 years. Some really lovely 16750s also around with great patina....and i have to say, that is my main criteria for this final addition.
Patina and condition, then reference, I agree.
But I would favour one of these transitional 16750 / 16760 too! That is far from being an impossible hunt! Best, Nicolas
Its not a hard hunt at all.....
......but its waiting until that special patina comes along that is just perfect......
I missed some, in a recent past. With great patina.
I was always thinking, hey, you have the time... But I should stop snoozing. ;)
Hey Baron,
Nice lot of GMTs. I like the 6542, but I don't have a GMT yet. I suppose you are trying to hunt for a Concorde GMT next?
Not too many .. Just a nice quartet.. Thus, here some chips..
GMT 16700 (left) & 1675 (rt) WS 16700 - black/red Sweet candies Vintage 1675 ( 1960 / gilt) - 1675 Pepsi (1972) 116710 BLNR - The Bruiser .. Hope you liked them a bit, I do ... Best, hs ...
Yes, thx kindly for your nice words !.. Indeed, it was only ..
.. pretty recently, that I found this 1675 from 1960. - happens to be gilt, CR, PCG & exclam mark (!) - yes veery happy I am ! And it's in fact you, dear friend, who has stimullated, chaperonized & advised me so kindly, in the Vintage Rolex terroir.. - ma...
4??? Damn, hs... You go fast, my friend. Congratulations.
I lost the count, but yes 4... 4 of my fav Rolex Ref... BRAVO. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thx, also for your encouragement !.. Coming from you, it's an honor & special ! :))
.. Thanks so much also for your advice and stimulating dialogues; - these always help a lot, but leave quite a bit to learn, to see, and touch.. All mostly enjoyable, sometimes tricky, sometimes with a " little help from your friends", always rewarding.. ...
Here is my 1675 blueberry
...with all red hand and tropical dial, very colorful. :) [URL=] [/URL] ...
Such a colorful Rolex reference will deserve a long and coloful thread...
... here a sample of my madness for GMT´s for this roll call! Have a nice week end dear Joe! Very cordially, Abel. ...
Thank you my dear friend I´m glad you like the collection...
... and remember you instilled me the madness for this reference as well as for the Explorer II vintage! :))) Thank you my friend! Have a nice week end and a great holidays in Trieste!! Abrazos afectuosos, Abel.

Am I allowed to join the team...
but just with this one? Big congrats to all of you for such a splendid GMT's collection! Kind regrads ...
Beautiful example my friend Francis! Such a gorgeous dial and...
Nicely faded bezel to boot! Beware! GMT can be adictive! Un abrazo! Abel.
Thank you, Abel
for you nice words. You are rigth, the well known GMT's addiction has already trapped me! Kind regards
Nice collection
Joe- Its a pleasure to see your GMT collection. If it were not for the 6542 I would have said it is definately too modern for my taste. Your 6542 is a dream and your 1675 with black bezel is not bad either. I prefer these to your latter two but together t...
I miss a "pleasure' Pepsi....
....and it doesnt have to be rare, underline, exclam.... but it needs a dial with a killer patina. Now, there is no logic in that addition other than the pleasure of the watch.....nothing about rarity or even filling a gap.....genuinely, I just want a Pep...
Its pretty clear
we have a passionate GMT collector at work here. This what I consider A+ stuff. I have a long journey ahead but I look forward to every second! A nice collection- impressive indeed! E
Only two pieces
But my collection will likey expand by 100% before the year ends. ...
Apologies for being so late to the game, but now she is back...
Out for a walk with my two best friends.... Cheers Tony ...
