Your vacations provide some marvelous pictures
The 1655 may be my favourite GMT, but that doesn't take anything away from the beauty of your cream dial 16550. The Italian sunlight truly captures their beauty. Enviable photos and watches!!
Some " Italian " Rolexes.
The title may surprise a bit, at first sight... But, if you think a bit about it, wouldn't you say that some rolexes are strongly linked to Italy? The Daytona is one good example, of course, but this chronograph can be linked with the whole universe ( sor...
It is not
healthy to read your post early in morning... now I must take Grappa ( another Italian marvel ) to calm down... Thank you for awesome pictures and post.... Best Damjan
I'm worry about the actual day now.
Especially you keep on mentioning "Grappa Training"?! Best Tyler
Damjan and me are playing in the Champions league ...
When it comes to Grappa... I remember some serious games under the heavy Croatian Summer Sun, in a swimming pool, enjoying some fine Grappa. Well, I also have to say that Damjan started to play with my daughter's Barbie... Grappa can be bad for mental hea...
Result of
living in Communist regime in youth.. we never had Ken and Barbie was girl strictly and only among choosen few rest of us had to look in bottle... ))
Wow, great vintage emotion...
...and watch photography a its best ! Thanks so much for sharing these beauties !
You know how much I love these Explorers, Jeff.
And seeing them in the real life or in pics is feeding py pleasure to share them with you. Best, Nicolas.
Very nice Nicolas!
Two watches with a very strong personality. You managed to capture the 'essence' with these shots! Luckily, you have both, as it would be impossible to pick a favorite. The freccione is probably rarer but the "eggshell" has such a beautiful complexion. I ...
This is the kind of dilemma I hate. Hence I got both. ;)
Not sure that the Freccione is rarer than this Transitional 16 550, my friend. Both being rare beauties, I'm more than happy to get both of them, along with my Polar Bear 16 570 and the infamous 6610. You'll see, you'll end with more than one. It is writt...
I fell in love with them! Now I am more tempted. :)
They have been near the top of my list for a while. I think they make a great pair. So tasteful, like other "Italian" Rolexes. Just a few days ago, I tried to bid on one 1655 (Mk1 straight hand) and one 16550 cream/ivory in an auction, but I played too ch...
Believe me, Schen, both are much nicer in the real.
There is something magic when you handle such pieces... They are worth some financial effort, at least, this is what I seriously think. Best, and good hunt, my friend. Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-09-20 14:20:29
Stunning collection of photos, Nicolas!
The static “sky shot” of the cream dial… Made me drool on my keyboard! Thank you keeping us in summer mode, my friend! Best Blomman
Aaah yes, this one is really special, my friend.
Something tells me that you're more and more mature for a Rolex, Blomman... Best, Nicolas.
Sooner or later…
I will work my way into the vintage world of Rolex! Best, my friend Blomman
Perfectly executed shots...
Each and every shot. The watches the Italian atmosphere, the camera and the man behind the camera were in perfect harmony. Especially the watches, they obliged your exact intentions. Like the morning light on the cream dial...so perfect. Enjoyed every bit...
It was a great fun, Edward.
How could it be different in such an environment? Thanks for your nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
there is something about the orange hand,i guess its the only watch which..
..actually looks good with an ORANGE hand. The Freccione.
It works very well on the 1655.
Indeed! It is part of its very 70ies look. But I wouldn't say that the Freccione is the only one to look so nice with an orange hand. What about this Breitling RCAF? Best, Nicolas....
ok agreed, it softens the chronograph a bit. i wonder if the..
..tritium on the indexes were also orange in color those days before reacing current state patina.
just love how you composed these shots:)
I could only wonder how you decide what watches to bring on vacation--and what pics you might take J
The answer is simple...
The watches I like, and the watches I was able to find in my mess... Best, Nicolas.
Hot Hot Hot
Nico You are killing us. One you risk the watches on the roof and two you risk the watches on the roof. This is a unique signature photo style maybe imitated but never duplicated. What am I saying I just describe "Nicolas" you are one of a kind. See u soo...
Well, Life is risk, Bill ...
And risks are the spice of Life... Catch you very soon. Best, my dear friend. Nicolas.
