Vintage Rolex Box and Papers: What I have and what I miss.
While visiting my hard disc, I fell on pictures featuring some of my vintage Rolex watches with box and papers. Not that owning a full set the most important thing, when it comes to vintage, as a nice watch is everything, but it is a plus which is quite r...
What a nice collection, congrats. The Creamy Explorer is the best what i have seen, increditbel ! [nt]
Is it normal? What is normal?
Well done Nico!!
I seldom understand why vintage watches do not have its original box and papers so it is magical to see someone keeping everything in order. Watches for me are my most prized possessions even when compared to my car or property. The watch itself is import...

i saw an Omega Mooncrater box sell for eu 1.300,- - that it takes away to much from the watch budget.

It's icing on the cake. Below is what made me take the plunge. But for me the reason for the watch was more important, the watch matched my birth year, quarter stamp and serial numbers, the rest was just a bonus. I'd love to get a double red 1665 full set...

Rolex is a story
Not only a gimick to prove taste, but a real awareness. I see them on pictures, nice. When spotting in reality this is a very watchbrand on it’s own. Great, i will focus on milgauss and Celini’s.
