Student Rolex Collection:
Dear Collectors, After two summer internships and a non negligible amount of babysittings and tutoring sessions, I am extremely proud to present my Rolex collection. Enjoy the pictures! The Polar Explorer was my favourite to photograph. This one is from 1...
First of all, welcome here, Hugo.
And congratulations for your very nice Trio. A Sub, an Explo and a GMT, your bases are pretty well covered. I specially like the patina of your 16 570, which developped some nice creamy accents. As for the GMT II C, a watch which is still in my wish list....
wow.... that must have been a lot of babysitting!!
Fantastic trio.... I have seen a number of people start off their collections buying a brand new Rolex as they want to "age" with the watch. I had never really thought of that...but what a lovely idea. I have some questions...... 1) What made you choose t...
As for aging with watches, we have some avance, my good friend. :)
Lets see if we'll develop a nicer patina than our watches. Best, Nicolas
i can cope with a little wear and tear on the dial face....
but its that inner movement i want to keep going..... You know, Amanico,....... wrinkle for wrinkle we are both looking like knackered old donkeys!!
In response to your quesitons
Thank you! 1) What made you choose those three? Anything about those three or was it just trying to get some variation within the Roles theme? - GMT 116710 LN: don't know - Sub ND 14060: the 5513's big brother + tritium and the dial is so simple compared ...
fantastic....
...so pleased you are not another Goldmans intern!! The colour variation on a collection is actually a lot more important than many people think. Not surprised that the explorer's vibrancy attracted you. Interesting answers on why Rolex. I ask myself that...
Great collection, Hugo!
Great trio, Hugo! I am particularly very fond of your nicely patinated Explo II. That particular watch has been growing and growing on me during the last months. As for you next one, well, there are few things that compare in charm and allure to a Vintage...
Welcome here Hugo,
and congrats on your watches. I like the concept of the "romantic hand" indeed. A more laid back concept. Wear them in good health. René
That represents a lot of babysitting.
I am impressed by such a balanced collection. All very good choices from my perspective. Thanks for sharing and welcome to PuristSPro. Best regards, George
