    Love it when somebody posts a picture like that cos I can show it to my wife and tell her that I'm not the only one and there are people alot worse than me.

    Great pictures, any chance of one for post 1955?? :)

    That reminds me of the photos where they have all the fakes lined up ready for the steamroller to drive over them!

    Impressive! Probably enough to bailout cyprus

    Wow, I really want some of those!

  25. #25
    Mike, I know many would want to see individual pics, but is there any chance of a pic of the Cali dial one(s)?

  26. #26
    Wow.......if there was a prize, you would deserve it!

    I love quality watches from that period and that is a fabulous collection M.

    Those California dials are super ducky.

    I'd like to pore through that lot.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    That's incredible. Would love to see the watch box you store them all in as well.

  32. #32
    Wow! I thought your collection was SS sports Rolex, didn't realise you had all those as well.

    Serious question - have you ever considered writing a Rolex reference book Mike?

    Very interesting idea! I think you should go for it!

    Crickey!..impressive stuff.
    One of the reasons I love posts like this is they ease my guilt about the size of my collection.
    Seems I'm just a beginner!

    Oh mama! I'd most probably be always late as it would take me hours to decide which watch to wear

    A truly amazing collection, but a little more attention to detail is required - one of them is showing 11:20

    wow...

    Amazing collection Mike. I knew about the Sports models you have (in large numbers) but not these!


    Serious question... Do you know how you stand in the world Rolex collectors stakes? You must have more than anyone else surely?

    How many Sports models to go wit this little lot... a few hundred?

    Wow that is some collection, it's amazing

    Ha, just showed these to my wife, she was horrified!

    I nodded and mumbled agreement.....

    Amazing collection, how long has it taken to accumulate that lot?

    Looks like a game of risk, where rolex's are the armies

    Outstanding

    Thank you all for the very kind comments!!

    I confess, my little collection of oldies rarely sees the light of day, but I do get great pleasure every time I take them out of their leather storage wallets and wind them up & set them. I plan to invest in some more accessable storage trays so I can gradually work through the collection having the watches serviced and "bringing up to spec". And yes, I'll be trying for better photographs of each watch!

    I'll do my best to get some clearer images of the Cali dials...
