From a long time member, who rarely posts on this forum, and a lover of all vintage watches. I agree that the vintage Rolex market is now for those with deep pockets, but dead? No - pre ‘89, rare and...

16 years ago, this 844/0 was my first proper watch, (aside from a Casio digital during my school days in the 80’s) and is what lured me into watches.

At the time of purchase (won on...

wasn’t that long ago they were… bottom one Just over £2k bought in 2010, and top one £5.5k in 2016. This one is in better condition (NOS) that the one Mike Wood currently has for sale.

British ones, or German quality blades?

Looking to be a warm day here in NL, looking forward to a beer at the beach later.

Recently I’ve been researching (reading about) the safety aspects of wearing watches with Tritium painted dials. I understand that Tritium emits low energy Beta decay, mostly retained within the...

Maiden outing for the Explorer on oyster bracelet this morning. I’m sold, but amused at how poor the 580 endlinks fit the 1016.

Looks very similar to mine (5513, 1965, a 1.35m serial number) Here are a couple equally poor pictures - one using a flash, which can help highlight any imperfections on what ideally should be a...

Thank you, that’s not as much as I was expecting! :)

Yes, pictures always brighten a post! Here they are; the one on the left is from 1985, UK unworn with the original caseback sticker in place. My daily wearer is the one on the right, circa 1971 with...

I’m looking to put my 1016 onto a bracelet, having worn it on a strap since I purchased it 8 years ago.

Can someone tell me whether it is still possible to purchase the 78360 oyster bracelet (and...

I’d like something to wear on a daily basis instead of my Rolex 1016, most probably a black dialled OP 34mm or DJ 36. Though I’ll first wait to see if Rolex updates the steel DJ with a slimmer case...

There was a late 1016 that sold for CHF30,000 last month at Phillips Geneva. Though it was in very good condition.

I ordered a custom strap early September 2017 (vintage leather ‘Mogano’, 2 Ecru stitch) and after the initial order confirmation I heard nothing more from them despite many emails enquiring on order...

Could the OP comment on whether the bracelets had been previously polished, or whether the Coronet on the 93150 was removed in one sitting? The Coronet on the 78360 also looks to have lost it...

After spending far too much time searching the internet on such a dry topic (should that read tropic?) I turn to where I should have first directed my efforts weeks ago...

Can someone please tell...

£4k does seem a tad low, given condition and accompanying papers. I enquired about one advertised at Worldoftime earlier this year, the asking price was €6950 without papers.

Nice collection, especially like the MSAR.

OCD? The PAM looks to be 3 seconds fast!
