Rolex

My dad passes away for almost 9 years. He left me his Rolex watches but only the watches...no boxes or papers left behind. As I'm very new to the world of rolex, I really need your expertise of identifying all these memorable pieces. Please kindly help me out...I really don't have any idea of what year they were produced or what references number there are....for example, I know 1680, 5512, 5513, etc....but not of these watches.

By the way, the watches are not in very nice condition as my dad used them as daily beater.....in the garage!.. and sorry for my bad photo skills...

1. Normal size, Black dial with date

2. Normal size, Blue dial with date

3. Normal size, Gold case and gold bracelet

4. Boy size with diamond

5. Normal size

Thanks in advance for your kindly help

and check between the lugs: on one side is the model reference (4 digits), on the other side the serial number that will help dating the watch.

This really shows the spirit of Rolex.  People who bought into the the Rolex idea did so knowing that it was not an inexpensive watch but they still new that this watches were made to be worn.  Not safe queens.  Beat the hell out of a Rolex every day for 30 years and you still have a swiss watch that is second to none.

The Rolex legacy lives on.

Now we need to stop being babies with ourr watches and do with them what was intended.  Wear the hell out of them without concern.

If the watch does not hold up to this kind of use it does not belong.

Rolex - like no other - you can never beat it down because it will beat you.

God bless your Father.

Since I was born, my dad had never used other watches except the Crown - Rolex. He told me that Rolex is the King of Watch with great history and it was his dream of owning one.

I always enjoy wearing his watches no matter how old are them, they are more than just a watch for me.

Cheers

First of all, let me say that I'm glad to see that you never sold these watches...

Affective watches, form a beloved person, are the best watches in the world!

It's refreshing to read you, my man.

Your father was certainly a nice person, when I read his son.

As for the refrences of the Rolexes, the first thing we do, before buying a Rolex wathc, is to remove the bracelet ,

to see the reference and to check if the ref corresponds to the watch.

Jeff once again and as always is right.

Have a Great WE, my friend!

. . . my most precious watches are the ones that Dad wore and then gave to me . . . sentimentally, Art

Nicolas,

I totally agree to what you said..."watches from beloved person are the best watches in the world". I will never...ever let them go off my wrist. I don't have kids yet, but if I have kids, these watches will be passed to them as the memorable of their grandfather.

I really love to wear these watches eventhough people always tell me that they are very very old. But trust me, they've got more value than those of my new watches.

By the way, thanks for your info about how to get the references.

Cheers.

That I bought fir myself A Rolex 116 200 Date just ( !!! ), with the bicloro dial, with the idea to wear it, and to give it for her 18th Birthday to my Daughter who is 32 months old...
Seems that the Date Just is more likely called " Affection Just " .....
Best.
