A GTG of Vintage Rolex Asylum Members

So a bunch of guys with great passion for vintage rolex, and obviously it was a blast!

Some are old friends, some familiar forum members here and some new faces I see.. But I can really feel the passion amongst them

So here are some of the watches , I didn't get to take some pieces because I forgot to charge my camera battery before leaving for GTG, but anyways here's what I took

A Beautiful Black Gloss Gilt 1675

A Stunning 5513 PCG, Gilt, Underline , it's a love at first sight!

Iceman's extraordinary gold 6241 PN

A Very Nice Black Gilt Dial Early Datejust

You've probably have seen the post about it, a super tropical 5512 Chapter Ring 2 Line

This very nice Tropical Red Sub, I swear the dial is much browner under the sun

Another Ultra Tropical piece

A gorgeous tropical matte dial 5512

Another Iceman's beauty, 6239 Daytona , I hope I can get such Daytona to accompany my black one

A very charming 6202

And here's some charming no-crown guard subs 5508

Iceman's Extraordinary Padelone

Don't they make a great pair?!

probably the nicest 5512 chapter ring 4 liner, I've ever seen

And here's some really cool DayDates

I know a friend will like this piece

A Tropical DRSD Mk2

Matte Dial 1016

Submariner 1680

The Gold PN on the wrist of Logan, looks cool with the tattoo

Military Issued SM300

Some Increadible GMTs

Another incredible 5513, PCG-Gilt- Upper Underline

And someone came in with a great surprise, 6241 Gold PN Daytona with Black dial, serial number very close with the other gold PN there

I wished I came in more prepared with longer battery life to take more photos of these beauties

But I hope you all enjoy these photos

Cheers

Sam

Now this is a gathering 100% to my liking. High quality. Diverse. This GTG has it all. Underline. Gloss. Tropical, 4L, PN (in Gold which is pretty rare in itself), nice GMTs. Actually it reminds me a little of the upcoming Christies sale in a few days in ...

Diverse...

By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:05

That's the exact word for it… Unfortunately not all pieces by these people were brought to this GTG, you would've seen more Daytonas and some special issued Rolex in it And some pieces are quite similar to the pieces in the upcoming Christie's auction, yo...

Incredible line up

Abel..

By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:07

It's hard to resist when you see so many great pieces live And what's great about it is that I was able to compare and see more variation in condition of these watches, especially the gilt dials Hope you have a wonderful weekend Sam

They're actually

By: i_am_Sam : May 3rd, 2014-23:58

Very delicious! It was actually my first encounter with an all original 6542… With the bakelite bezel, even though it's not I'm prime condition, it is a very spectacular watch I hope to be able to see yours in the future Best, Sam

We don't all agree with that, but for me, the 6542 is just one of the top 5 best vintage

By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:05

Rolex... So you see how much I love this reference! Best, Sam. Nicolas

I can see that clearly Nicolas...

By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:31

So what's the other 4? Sam

Aaah, that is an interesting question...

By: amanico : May 4th, 2014-00:38

Let's say four other Vintage Rolex GM Master? :) No, more seriously, I would say a Rolex Big Crown, for sure, 6200 or Tudor 7922 / 24, for example, an early Explorer, such as a 6350 Waffle dial or a 6610, a Milgauss, the 6541 or more realistically, a very...

Great Selections!

By: i_am_Sam : May 4th, 2014-00:44

And great diversity as I can see Interesting choice between the last ones…. The Tudor Porsche and DRSD Mk2 PP.. Most would have easily chosen the DRSD but to add depth to the collection with the rest of the list, it would make it tough to choose between t...
