    For an expert he doesn't know much about the Rolex LED. The pic he showed is a photoshop and the actual prototypes had LED hands rather than digits.

    Anyway, i liked the Zephyr - Rolex's take on the Polerouter. Also the Space Dweller was very cool.

    Very interesting thread. The Zephyrs are actually quite common. I have seen a few over the years.

    I was told that the Space-Dweller was specific to the Japanese market, perhaps why we don't see them in Europe very often.

    A bit disapointed that he did not have a non-Rail, non-hyphen black Dial 16650. A picture of one exists in the Explorer Booklet, but I have never never seen one in the flesh - and I am a bit anorak about it

    Trans Continental, yum.
    I love the Tru-Beat, first heard of them when researching the Chezard 'dead beat' (seconde mort) back in 2014, so sought after by collectors.

    I was surprised that the Texan wasn’t in the list:

    How about one of the rarest Rolex's of all.

    The ref 6611 - a stainless steel day date. Only 6 known examples.
