blomman Mr BlueMy very first “real watch” was a Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600… Another early in to the collection watch was the Explorer II 16570. Since then a lot of different watches, but not many Rolex… I never considered myself as a Rolex collector, but I always thought I should have a Submariner.

Problem is to find the right one, the vintage train left the station long time ago… Moderns are too chunky and square for my taste... .....Story

amanicoWhile visiting my hard disc, I fell on pictures featuring some of my vintage Rolex watches with box and papers. Not that owning a full set the most important thing, when it comes to vintage, as a nice watch is everything, but it is a plus which is quite rewarding and a pleasant " bonus ".

foverstaThe Tudor Black Bay GMT was one of the stars of the latest edition of Baselworld. It was put under the spotlight thanks to its intrinsic qualities and the concomitant presentation of the Rolex GMT-Master II "Pepsi" in steel with Jubilee bracelet, causing the publication of thousands of articles comparing the two watches. I couldn't escape this trend since I also wrote an article on the same theme (which was published on PuristSPro a few months ago) even if it was primarily devoted to the strategic directions ... ...Story
