Loving this thread. I have a landmark birthday next year and it's galvanising my resolve for a GMT Master.

16800, purchased 1982. Still regularly on my wrist...
Now then. On my wrist today, albeit for a short amount of time. Just amazing!
Or if you prefer a sub.
Just stunning.
A stunning pair of watches. Crazy to think that in large parts of the country the sale of those two watches would buy you a decent house.
A few:
1974 Submariner.
Rolex should reissue this! Historic range!
here's some more, the market is also calling them stern dials, after the company that produced them.

Newly acquired 16800 - Shame it's got a service bezel insert and strap's seen a bit too much polish, but came fully Rolex serviced from a reputable dealer so I'm a happy bunny!
Nobody wants to see my plain jane Datejust, You've seen one you've seen them all.....
Show it!!! SHOW IT!! ;-)
I've tried quite a few before during and since owning this 1990 5513. But it's remained with me for some years now and no sign of it leaving any time soon (unless an attractively priced 1665 shows up...).
Ant
5513 for me today
My Rolex collection has been depleted over the years to fund my motorsport addiction , but I've still got a '50s Oyster Royal that I bought for fifty quid and a few others up to this Sub that I bought on a whim for a little more at a point when I must have had delusions of solvency.......
..and I have been tying my own laces for ages
It's a classic.
I do love these threads, I'm a big Rolex fan always have been. I have just one at the moment and it's the best of them IMHO. I'm also on the waiting list for a SS Daytona. I will be buying a milgause next year too if I can decide on color of dial.
