All-time favourite Rolex....Sea-Dweller 1665 DRSD Mk2. What's yours?
I have been collecting Rolex for a few years. This 1665 is one of my earliest purchases. I saw it and simply had to have it. Have owned rarer watches since. I have owned more expensive watches since. But I have never owned a Rolex I wanted more....my all-...
My first love, and still in love today
Have always loved the 16520, I have probably owned all the versions at various times, excluding the porcelain which I have seen but never owned. My favourite has always been the black dial, my favourite bezel is the vintage inspired 200 unit, and my favou...
That's a very nice and interesting Black 16520 you show us, Imran.
If I had to choose one and only one Dayto, it would be the porcelain, and yes, over the Paul Newman. Ouch, I already hear some cries. But this black one is just top, too, Best, Nicolas
16520 is underrated in importance
The craze for all the older Daytonas stems from the lack of availability of the early 16520's. It forced people to re-examine what was an unpopular watch. Yours is AMAZING. One of my grails. Thanks for sharing.
I am absolutely not surprised by your choice, because...
It is so you! And it is just gorgeous. If I had to pick one for the title of my most favorite Rolex, it would be a vintage, and it would be this one: For its friendly complication, for its sensuality. I have two or three others which are absolute keepers ...
Hello Joe! It is always a pleasure to view your gorgeous Sea Dweller DR!!...
... the red inscriptions contrasting against the tropical brown dial is a delicious and enjoyable view! My favorite Rolex piece is a very common one. No amazing patina, no tropical dial, but a lot of nostalgia arround its presence on my wrist as my daily ...
At the moment
definitely my Day Date 40 But these 2 come very close to the Day Date And because of the short time the Explorer and Day Date are with me I don\'t know yet which one will win. One thing is certain: the Explorer has become a favorite watch in a very short ...
I'm not at all a Rolex expert
but I have several pictures on my HD which attracts me to the Rolex world. The GMT MASTER 6542 (picture from one of Nicolas' posts): Submariner (don't know the reference) from Anaesdoc, but a nice 5513 would be perfect too: The current modern Daytona with...
You have great taste, Mark. Nobody can dispute that.
So, when will you get your first Rolex? Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas, you're too kind
I just try to catch up from the stuff I read from you all Well, I don't know, always struggling to take a decision: awarding a part of budget here or to other watches from a wishlist... But when I see what we can have from Rolex with even low budgets, it ...
Yes, it is hard to find a good reason to not do so...
But I know the wish list priority too well, too. Best, Nicolas
Am a rather short time intense Rolex collector.. But my favs are pretty clearly defined..
One I love as a plain, sober example, but with a nice low-key appeal: Explorer 6610 (1956), gilt, CR The 2nd is a result of a more than 2 yr search & a lucky find in a great condition.. GMT 6542 (1961) So, both are Vintages, both keepers, and both lots of...
