I agree, Bas
These Big crowns have an unbelievable look.
I saw the 6538 and the 5508, I had the opportunity to put them side by side, and frankly, if I could, I would go for the 6538.
The only problem is that if you want a 6538 with a gilt original dial, you have to sell your kidneys to get one.
If you consider a matt dial, it is .... " cheaper ", but in this case, my former question has soem sense:
Isn't it preferrable to get a much more affordable5508 with an original radium dial, rather than à much more expensive 6538 with a service matt dial?
Damn, we have such delicious dilemmas!

A Brown Bomb from ...1964.
For all the Chocolate, Brown, patined dials, here is a marvel I couldn't resist to share with you, a 1016 Explorer I from 1964. You will notice that the right part of the dial is lighter than the left part. Personally, I love a lot! The patined indexes ar...
Cool !
I think I know the watch, it was proposed to me early this year by a dealer in Marseille. I found it nice but expensive. Small world... Cheers Jeff
Possible, Jeff...
I was mesmerized by its beauty, but worried by its price.... Therefore, I'm on something which is my absolute priority, when it comes to Vintage Rolex... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yep, PP.
Exactly this one. A pity I didn't show it to you last saturday! Be well, my friend. Nicolas
Did we....
have time for this????? Besides the ones that you got were superb...... Cheers
Strange, a rare Bird, indeed...
This Bomb is awesome, with this touch of nice brown color... Stunning!... but, between you and me, I prefer a no-crown sub... Seriously, I think it´s a watch that would feet really well in your awesome collection. Thanks for sharing, Hermano Best Emilio
The pity is that I can't get them all, Hermano.
As you said, the No Crownguard Sub first! )) Catch you soon, my friend. Best, Nicolas
True, Nicolas . . .
. . . you have to leave a few for the rest of the Rolex gang! My next vintage is Bill's sublime Longines chronometer . . . if he'll let me have it, of course ;-) . . .
LOL, but sadly true, Art.... :)
Wish you the best of luck for your Lon,gines Chronometer, my friend! Best from freezing Paris. Nicolas
Nice!
Nicolas, a very nice variation. Please allow me to contribute: Sub 6205 from 1954: Ex 1016 from 1963: Mixed together, they are just like yours! Best, Anatol...
I wouldn't mix these Beauties, Anatol
As each of them are so gorgeous! You're a lucky guy! Feel free to post more pics of these beauties, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Nice shots
Hi Anatol Thanks for sharing some pictures of at least one of the watches on my list of watches-to-be-purchases-soon, the 6205 But actually, the explorer is on another list, the list of watches-to-be-purchases-later BR Hans
Actually, not mine, my friend.
I have another urgent target to found... Ouch! Best, Nicolas
No crownguard Sub
Hi Nicolas my friend Thankyou for sharing the explorer pictures. Great patina indeed, but I am more looking for your priorities in life... first a no crownguard Sub... also one of my grail watches I have not come to yet.. With or without the Mercedes hand...
Well, Hans
I would like to get a 6538, for the unbelievable strength of its biga case and crown. But all those I see comes with a mat service dial, and those which comes with a laquered gilt dial are way too pricey. So, what to do? Getting a 6538 service dial, OR go...
I see, Jeff...But I'm afraid I can't play, as I missed the train
Unless we speak about FFs... Best, Nicolas ...
Go for a the Big Crown
Nothing is beat a big crown. Find one with a gilt service dial, or go for the Tudor Big Crown ( the are more Rare than the 6538). Ever time you poet it on your wrist, you have the feeling that you are 007;-) (Your Explorer is beautiful, love the cooler) C...
I agree, Bas
