Rolex

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...  

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 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. ill ta...  

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 a stunning tropicalised i.64. not on my usual place. ill send you details by pm. if i had the money id have that as well its that good. G

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 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...  

... 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 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. im starting to stop, if that m...  

Still a joy, no less 2 Rollie at once. A celebration is needed. Regards Tyler

thanks Tyler and thanks for picking that mistake up. it was late, i was very tired and ive only just woken up. a short nights sleep on friday made me do it. as for the dial, what do you think ?? best G

... 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 ...  

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 ...  

... 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 you yet again for your in depth reply. with regards to the DD, ive 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... 

your fully converted to the dark side...look forward to seeing it very soon Andy.

thanks Bud, you will see it very soon G

Congrats on this one! Very classy.

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

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, i have speedies and they trump daytonas in my book i charge for my method and very few can afford me, but for you, ill give 1 free lesson best G...  

G...  

... 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 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

Is this the so called Buckley dial ? Cheers,dreamer

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 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... 

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 a ticket for each draw every week and only ever get 2.50 here and there. youve 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...  

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 growing on my now ive put it on leather. checking its accuracy and just enjoying it whilst enjoying the sub on the other wrist. best Graham
