Another Rolex collection.

[learningtofly]

So do you have a favourite brand, Bob?

[bobdog]

Hopefully not a rude question, but what's the market value for a gilt 1675 such as this at the moment?

I refused £20K before Xmas, one sold a couple of months ago by one of our best vintage sellers for £17.5k and wasn’t as good as this one.

Obviously Seiko Tony.

Thanks, things have clearly moved on quite a bit since I last was up to speed with the market. All very nice watches, your 1675 would be my favourite.

I sold my gilt PCG 1675 about 5 years ago for £7650.

Yep,but 5 years ago you could go out have 10 pints a bag of fish and chips and still have change from a 10 shilling note.

For some reason that didn't make me feel any better about it.

Cheers Lee, praise indeed, but it’s a victim of its own circumstances, it’s so nice I very rarely wear it in case of damage, the original 6636 rivet bracelet looks as though it was made yesterday, absolutely mint.

Had mine on at the weekend.

Beautiful watches and thank you for sharing.
There’s been a bit of “similar watch” bashing on the forum so I keep quiet lol.

Stunner Lee, my trouble is my 16660 seadweller is welded to my wrist I like it so much, it only comes off when I dress up lke a tart and put a Daytona on, which doesnt happen very often.

That didn't make me feel any better either

[spuds]

A truly enviable collection mate, loving the GMT and the Daytona especially.

[taz11]

One of the amazing collections I have seen on the forum

Tony, you just have to let it go, let it go or it will eat you up, take comfort in that it still misses you.

Yes, one should not feel 'gilty'.

I'll get my coat...

Nice pun but it wasn’t a Gilt it was a 16660 seadweller with the most incredible dial you have ever seen, Tony has regretted selling it and of course I wouldn’t dream of rubbing it in.

[thfccambs]

Wow just Wow, what a great collection.

[td1596]

Probably the most modest thread title ever, definitely not just ‘another Rolex collection’ !!

[UKWatchGuy]

Is that TT Daytona the one from SC recently ?

Update of my present little collection. I appreciate some of them look the same but they are not, all have subtle differences.
Submariner 5513 Maxi, Submariner 5513 Metres First, Submariner 5513 Gilt, Submariner 1680 Red, Seadweller 16660, Seadweller 1665 Mk1, GMT 1675 Gilt, Daytona 6263 Big Red, Daytona 16523 Zenith.

[Horologos]

What a collection, feck it’s beautiful except that it’s your collection and not my collection.
Wow love the s/s Daytona, the GMT and the 5513.
Stunning lucky man.

[gary1064]

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but what a glorious collection of vintage Rolex watches. Not at all envious!

[Craizeehair]

Stunning... great collection

5513 maxi for me.

What year is it if you don’t mind my asking?

[bobdog]

79 Mk2

All superb examples
What was the chronology here in regards to what came first and what sort of timescale did you build the collection over?
Was there a few shown the exit door getting to where you are now?

Good question, I started about 5 years ago but went down the modern path with a sub and gmt (both ceramic) They didn’t particularly excite me but I hung onto them, I then bought a 16660 seadweller and this made me realise that vintage was where my interest lay although I did buy a 16600 seadweller with the intention of it being my daily wearer but this didn’t happen as I tended to wear the original vintage 16660.
Eventually the sub and gmt were part traded for vintage models and the 16600 seadweller was given to my son. So it’s all happened over roughly 5 years and the only watches I have moved on are 3 relatively modern ones.

Fabulous Bob. Glad to see my old Big Red 6263 is still the jewel in the crown. Remember you agreed to sell it back to me at the same price that I sold it to you...if you ever move it on :-)

Hi John, Yep she’s still here in fact it’s risen in value so much I have to employ a security guard to follow me round, I blame you so expect a big bill for his services,lol. Good to hear from you mate, hope your keeping well.

[Snoodles]

Phwoah Bob! Simply loveleh, plenty in the watch box!

[Slamdoor]

A lovely collection. Personally I just don’t ‘get it’ which is just as well. Similarly many wouldn’t ‘get’ why I’d spend 1K on a mains cable for my Hi-Fi! Must buy a sub. though......

[MarkR]

Love the Daytona, very nice collection indeed :)

Looking to pick up a Sub next year for an anniversary present.

[uwtc]

Great collection, particularly beautiful 1675.

[charlies]

I’ve reckon you have a thing for Rolex steel sports models , that’s quite a collection

I like your passion for 5513. I've got Meters First, so I'm still missing some pieces ;-)

[WhopperSenior]

Thanks for sharing. You have some really special vintage pieces there. Out of interest, is there anything from the current line up that you like the look of?

[MintG]

Fantastic collection - Like many who have replied, I really love the GMT. The patina on it is so beautiful. Enjoy your watches and the pleasure owning them brings.

[AlexM]

As others have said, a truly wonderful and focused collection.
