Yes Nico I know but...
1. this was purely theoretical as Bill will not let his underline go anyhow
2. in case Bill would like to get rid of it, it is better for him to have 2 options instead of one, LOL ;-)
3. in any case of whatever unforeseen reason Bill would forget you and would tell me only, I won't let you down and shall remember you were first, re-LOL ;-))))
Best,
Mike
How many hands do you need?
My favorite Rolex watch period is the first half of the 1960'ies: gilt black lacquered dials and pointed crown guards are just fantastic! But which is your favorite watch: GMT or Sub? Nico has stated his preference already. What is yours? I tend to lean t...
I may be on the path of truth....
.....But I would always take a Submariner over a GMT! Its not to say that the GMTs in all their respective glory....from vintage through to modern, do not have considerable charm. Take my review from yesterday, if that is not a declaration of love!! BUT.....
Your arguments are overwhelming indeed!
There is so much variety in the Sub/SD family! Lovely watches, by the way. Just in case nobody has told you, yet... ;-)
You can't pick a favorite child why pick one gilt over another
The gilt period is great era for Rolex both sub and GMT. I will go with both. Bill Rolex 1675 PCG Chapter Underline ...
Aah, Bill, this 1675 Underline! One of the few I still miss in my Vintage Rolex GMT
Collection! Best, my Lucky friend. Nicolas
it's hard...
...in this particular case, equivalent beauty. taling about this two scans? GMT! I'm tired to see those subs on leather strap.
Well, let me think about it...
Is that photo a convincing answer? If you are ever getting rid of your 1675 Underline, I'll take it. ;) Best! Nicolas ...

two other very peculiar details never seen by me before .......
Sxxy. too much for one photo. Please.
There are people on the forum with weak hearts for Rolex. Your re creating too much joy in one picture. Spread the wealth over 7 posts. Bill
i can't remember...
...if it was Nicolas or Bill wrist, but talking about GMT king, i reminded the wristshot taken on Bill's boat... 6542, helm, compass. wonderful. that's the arm of the GMT King, imo.
It was bill's wrist and boat...
But I can't remember if it was Bill's 6542 or mine... ;) Best, Nicolas
I agree with Bill...
You can't choose between your 2 beloved children which one you love more. Frankly speaking I often asked the question to myself but never came close to an answer! A "simple" Maxi Mk3 lolipop or one of the latest gilt 1675 (end of 1966) They are simply com...

I promise to let you both duel for it.
I also promise to let you know if one shows up. Best Bill
Just like I thought...
It is not a question of GMT or Sub but rather a confirmation that you definitely need a gilt sports Rolex from the early 1960'ies! Enjoy your beautiful watches in good health, Gentlemen!
Definitely, yes. I totally agree with that statement.
They are so charming! Best, Nicolas
do you really have to!?...
you're at the top of vintage Rolex here!...as bill said, why choose one gilt over another!?...These 2 are superb examples. The Sub is somehow more "beefy" and cleaner at the same time some giving that kind of rough straight powerful look. the GMT is funki...
This is a "2 faces of the same coin" doubt
Submariner or GMT is a fake question in my opinion, they are 2 different watches for 2 different tastes. If somebody like them both the best way is to get 2 clean examples of them.. In my case I've chosen long time ago. ...
Even if I know that you went this way and that you own both of them
It is always a pleasant but terrific shock to see these beauties! You could sum your Rolex collection with these 2! Best, Peppo. Nicolas
Pointy ones with chapter ring...
Definitely can't go wrong with that My choice would be a submariner 5512 with either 2 or 4 line But I had a chance to play with my friend's new toy And it's not so bad on the wrist also! The list never getting shorter Best, Sam ...
Suuuperb specimen, Sam... That is the kind of pleasure which makes you want...
To be.... Vishnoo! ;) Best, Nicolas
