huge thanks Abel,
for taking the time to give your thoughts on how it could be worn. i’ll be
honest, i’m not sure the white dial is original as the lume does show up at
night, not bright, but its there which i find odd for a 48 year old watch, but i
like it now. i have a nice chocolate brown croc ready for it that i found in my
box of tricks

i think my long term plan for a dress rollie is to have a white gold day
date and let this go. i may add a gmt if i can build the funds, but the sub does
everything i need in a tool watch.

time to leave the brand alone for a bit and let my thoughts settle.

look what i found on my doormat this morning
quite a long time ago, perhaps 3 weeks or more, i won a Rolex date just on that auction site we know exists but never mention, but the seller sent it by rowing boat so i'd nearly given up worrying about it, especially as my 1964 Submariner arrived on wedn...
You will never stop! :)))
It won't be too difficult to relume your minute hand, my friend. Yes, I would do it, in that case. Bravo! Nicolas PS: IV 64, that speaks very loud to me!...
thank you Nicolas, i...
thank you Nicolas, i didnt think you would like it as its got yellow gold in it, but that iv.64 must speak volumes my sub is a iii.64 which speaks huge volumes to me as i was born in august. a bit of luck i hadnt considered until you mentioned it. ill ta...
Damn lucky catch if your Sub is III / 64!
Still running after my first Rolex from 1964, and it seems that they are far from being easy birds to catch! Best, my friend; Nicolas
i know where there is...
i know where there is a stunning tropicalised i.64. not on my usual place. ill send you details by pm. if i had the money id have that as well its that good. G
Congrats
You are on a 1964 Rolex roll. Very nice. I would leave the dial and hands for now and enjoy it. Bill PS It would also look great on a dark brown horween starp with a gold Rolex buckle...
thanks Bill, but i think...
thanks Bill, but i think this is the end of the roll, very few modern pieces left to sell to buy these lovely vintage pieces so back to saving up like normal people do best G...
I think ...
... it's a nice watch ..... LOOOOL Okay serious now, it seems you'll never stop buying , so how about a Thunderbird in stainless steel with a black dial .... yummie ! Bimmmmmmmmmmmm...
i’ve pretty much stopped buying...
ive pretty much stopped buying the big toys for now Bim, but funny you should mention it, i have considered getting a gold thunderbird bezel and black dial to make a 2 tone thunderbird which is the traditional arrangement. im starting to stop, if that m...
26mm is kinda small, I tot you would opt for the 36mm instead.
Still a joy, no less 2 Rollie at once. A celebration is needed. Regards Tyler
thanks Tyler and thanks for...
thanks Tyler and thanks for picking that mistake up. it was late, i was very tired and ive only just woken up. a short nights sleep on friday made me do it. as for the dial, what do you think ?? best G
Hello Graham! I´m glad to see you got the second Rolex ...
... you told us about, when introducing your Sub. You were fortunate to do a good price deal with this DJ, and fortunate it finally arrived to your doorstep, in spite of packaging and non tracking! This DJ is a nice every day wearing watch. I would leave ...

My pleasure to "talk" about these things Graham!...
... and I thank you for your comments and additional explanation about your DJ. I feel a DD is a good (or may be better) solution if you are looking for a "dress" Rolex. The DD with a President bracelet, may be is a bit "flashy", but a great classic combo...
hi Abel, and thank...
hi Abel, and thank you yet again for your in depth reply. with regards to the DD, ive seen one in WG on brown croc, no bracelet and that is how i would wear it. a president bracelet is way over the top for me to wear. losing the bracelet also makes the w...
Congrats my friend...
your fully converted to the dark side...look forward to seeing it very soon Andy.
thanks Echi, us brits...
thanks Echi, us brits have fairly pale skin especially if you dont like hot beach holidays so it keeps the white dial less bright i think. going to live with it for a while to see how i feel about it. best G
I think that
Daytona should be next after all you have R Subaru you gotta have one Roli that is worth match to your car Great catch G my man. Next time we meet you'll teach me few tricks how ton won bidding on that site we never speak about Congrats D...
thanks D, but no Daytona,...
thanks D, but no Daytona, i have speedies and they trump daytonas in my book i charge for my method and very few can afford me, but for you, ill give 1 free lesson best G...
Love the look Graham! I guess it is the way to go for this watch...
... or with a yellow or rose gold DD too. Of course will work with a white gold DD as well! Enjoy it so much Graham!
thanks Abel, i think...
thanks Abel, i think i may stick with this. wearing it on a non original 2 tone jubilee bracelet just didnt feel right despite it looking fine. best G
thanks Dreamer, as to...
thanks Dreamer, as to your question, i have no idea whatsoever. i need to google to find out. best Graham
a bit of a google...
a bit of a google later and yes, it is what they call the buckley dial. it seems all the white dials with black painted roman numerals are named after John Buckley who is now quite famous because of this. according to some things i read these dials are qu...
You are on a roll G, first you got a metres first and now Buckley Dial
without knowing their relative rarity. John Buckley is a Vintage Rolex dealer in New York. You better buy some lottery mate. Cheers,dreamer This message has been edited by dreamer8 on 2012-05-21 03:14:38...
ah, the lottery, buy...
ah, the lottery, buy a ticket for each draw every week and only ever get 2.50 here and there. youve got to be in it to win it, but millions dont win it if i did win it i would stick to my theme, but buy some very uncommon pieces and a bunch or unusual c...
Nice catch Graham.........
It's good when one can forget about any purchases made. As you are not anxiously waiting the arrival of postie.
thanks Tony, its really...
thanks Tony, its really growing on my now ive put it on leather. checking its accuracy and just enjoying it whilst enjoying the sub on the other wrist. best Graham
thanks Imran, long time...
thanks Imran, long time no hear. will i see you on the 31st ? G
