Lovely pair of subs you got there. I owned a Tudor Sub 79190 and personally I wouldn’t have changed the hands or got it polished. But each to their own, it’s your watch not mine!

I tried the the 54 on yesterday and liked it a lot. As a previous owner of a BB58 (which I moved on) I have to say I preferred the 54, the sleeker case and more refined looks, as well as the no hash...
Hi Kinyik…the tape idea sounds a smart one actually. I’ll give that a go.
Like you I had a 70s matte dial 5513, and I found myself trying to hide it from the sun all the time to stop it from...
Hi Montello the issue seems to me that at some point in its life, a long life to be sure, the bracelet fitted to the watch had hollow end links that simply were not a perfect fit. As a result there’s...
Hi Wallasey
So the exclamation point starts appearing at the end of 1961 early 1962. There is, as far as I can see, no actual testimony from a Rolex dial painter saying explicitly that this was an...
Hi all,
I don’t post on here much. But love the forum and have enjoyed the years of conversations and posts on here. On the advice of MartynJC I’ve started this thread.
Thought I’d update you...
Yes maybe I’ll start one then!

Just picked this up today.
Glorious Swiss only, gilt dial 5512 Submariner from 1961.
It’s the result of a lot of years of work and collecting to get up to this level. I’ve owned a 5513 and a...
Good question
I’ve never owned a proper dress watch, so I guess something thin and dressy. Precious metal Reverso or a Patek 5196
I also really like the pre-Tritium era Rolex divers and GMTs as...
I’d just also add to this. If any of you do go the vintage route, it’s far more resistant to the current price shocks and weird market trends we’ve all seen over the past 24 months. These only get...
I couldn’t get the new one so I went vintage instead. Also not cheap but easier to get hold of if you know and trust your dealer, and do your research to make sure the parts are all original, this is...

It’s a very depressing state of affairs to be honest. I rarely, if ever wear any of my watches outside the house in London these days. And if I do, when I’m walking around at night they are not on my...
I use The Vintage Watch Lad, he’s excellent. Got me a Metres First 5513, from 1971 (full set), and a 1965 Ed White. Really good service and he took best part of an hour to explain all the things you...
Not sure this is the kind of club for me

A lot of people find the ageing of the Tritium lume the thing that makes the watches so attractive.

I’ve had to make a switch in my head these days, if you think of Rolex as you did in 2016 then you will just never get another one, either vintage or new.
Today’s prices are what they are, I...
It’s never worth paying silly money for any (modern) Tudor release, I love Tudor, but anyone who pays over list for one has got rocks in their head.

Did you buy one yet? The KS is a fab watch, I’m really glad I got one. The more I’ve worn it the more it’s grown on me. The finishing is fantastic and it really looks great in low light. I like it so...
Agree with the comments here about the rubbish customer service. When I came in to the Harrods Tudor boutique there were two customer service reps chatting to each other and I sat on the high chairs...
I’m right on the fence with this at 42mm. At 40 I would have pounced. But I think I’d need to try it on first in all honesty. Probably will hold off on that call to the AD. For now…

Yawn....what an average release

Got my first yesterday afternoon, Pfizer as well. My arm feels a bit dead, but otherwise everything seems fine! I’ll take that over getting Covid again...

100% £6.8 for the White Birch is a steal.

I went into the GS store and tried it on. It is a fantastic watch, really solidly made, well finished and very balanced between the busy dial and the brushed surfaces.
It wears more silvery than...
