The perfect touch
Once you get over the price of a blue insert for the 1675 you don't feel so bad doubling up and some for the red triangle.
And from there go straight to the 6542 Bakelite For the full pleasures of Rolex collecting.
The insert you have make for a real standout and a collectors dream.

Great collection
I hope to seen the big crown soon. Now the trick question who is behind the camera. Bill
easy answer
The BC is on my left wrist and the camera in my right hand!!! Yes you will see these very soon!!! Matt

What a collection!! Its the Strong and the Sensual for me!!
Stunning, all of them, but those Subs are sublime! Tony
Alas, yes, my true love, BUT......
I'll have something a little different soon to show you in the summer. I'll give you a clue: Starts with G, and ends in Master ;-) And it might even be one that is stamped and dated for the 3rd Qtr 1972 (and I was born in Sept 72, so even better!!) Cheers...
Amazing collection!!
Nicolas, you have a way of capturing the "soul" of the watch with your photography......very well done indeed Wear them in good health!
Oooh, Damjan! :)))
Will be in youtr country from the 12th to the 16th of august, by the way... Warm the Grappa up! :) Best, Nicolas
Noooo!!!
Cool the grappa...cool & sensual :) Again we have different holiday biorhythms... Someone will have to make 500km trip :) best Damjan P.S. Wife just told me that she prefer crazy summer :)
Well...
BRTNGLO on the 12th, Rovinj on the 13 till the 16th... Come on! I will make 1500 Kilometers by car to meet you! ;) Best, Nicolas. PS: Your wife has great taste, maaan!
Lovely shots Bill!!...
I'll try a similar one this evening, but there's no guarantee, as it will involve strapping a rolex to my 2yr old!! He loves looking at my watches, but getting him to stay still for a photo will be the challenge!! LOL! cheers Tony
My perfect summer watch ...
Practical, low key and 36 mm is just the right size for my wrist. I started with a GMT (40 mm) and loved it for many years and still do. But, for some reason it started looking too big on my wrist. So my classical day-date feels just the right size. I als...
With such a nice backdrop nothing more to say
Great looking classic. What is in the background ... where is the picture taken. Bill
My collection - 3 subs on 3 wrists (and one very furry!)
This was a fun exercise on a nice warm sunny evening in Pau! A young Purists examins the goods!!!! "so, let me see, a submariner, no date, superluminova indexes, aluminum bezel insert, COSC certified, mmmm, let me think - 14060M?" Tess was a much easier m...
Great family picture
I can see that Tess is well behaved. Now I would hate to see a cat pass by while the watches grace her paw. Thanks Bill
Ha Ha - then you would have seen someone cry!!...
...there was lots of "stay, stay, stay, watch me, stay....." just to ensure she stayed focued!! It was a good intial post Bill, and good fun having a go to create a similar shot. (If I'd had a forth rolex, I would have tried to get the dog involved in the...
Currently in a very cold winter down here!!...
... but this thread makes me think about my favourite summer watch, specially if near the sea. I don´t dare to risk a nice vintage diving or at the beach, and I feel that a 14060M is a good sustitute with a classic design. ...
I want them all !
A rare picture Bill, all the familly/friends seem to share the same passion and how ! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mark
Oh what a marvellous and beautiful thread.......
Looking at your lovely photos make it almost bearable, to have once again put on my waterproofs before going outside!!!! Summertime it is but summer weather it certainly is not.................Well not until next month when we land in beautiful Spain :) N...
Well, at least, you had a strong start. Going on is another thing. :)))
All the best in your several quests, my friend. Nicolas
Summer will be......TROPICAL :-))))))))

Thanks Nicolas
I guess I have always been drawn to unusual looking dials.....it's a sickness for sure. Best, Rick
I will apply to my eyes daily
And twice on Sunday. What a wonderful beast. Thanks Bill
My God! You should better warn, next time, this is a killing BC.
Can't wait to see more pics of this beauty.
Thanks for the kind words Nicolas!!
I'm on daddy-duty today, but I promise to post more pics soon! :) BTW, my humble collection pales in comparison to yours.........UNBELIEVEABLE my friend....truly amazing HAGWE
As you know, this is not a matter of quantity, but of quality.
And in terms of quality, yours is hard to beat... Best, my friend. Nicolas
What can I say but....
Fabulous tropical big crown. And a beautiful red insert to frame and compliment her. Bill
Thanks for the kind words, Bill!!
It took quite some time to source the insert, but it was well worth the wait IMO......although my wallet may disagree :) Cheers, Rick

I hope to hear more
