Rolex

Under the title "Rolex: A journey through history," my dear friends of an Rolex AD in Spain have organized an exhibition that, frankly, I´m really happy didn´t got lost.

Yesterday, a good number of friends got together for a pleasant Saturday, the excuse for the meeting ??... simple: what better than a good number of friends together, a nice environment where a good time and a stunning exhibition at the height of the best events I have ever enjoyed. The answer, as you see, is simple.

Well, without further blablabla, let's enjoy what I could find in this exhibition ...

The first showcase is a summary of major milestones of Rolex and more specifically of the submersible models: the birth of the box "Oyster" in 1926 and an explanation of the right-hand record of Piccard, the deepest dive (10.916m) in The Marianas.

All this with submariners from different periods: two 1680 double red letter, a 5513 NOS, Sea Dweller 16660, a 5508 James Bond from 1959 and a spectacular 1680 in yellow gold.

Of course, them combined with all the current models with ceramic bezel and some models recently discontinued.

Do you like to think in green ???.... I am not referring to the ad model...




Uff, what a Marvel... Rolex ref. 6536 / 1 in perfect condition. I must admit that is one of the most beautiful vintage Rolex I've ever seen ...

In the second window we can admire the other professional models: the conquest of Everest (Explorer) and the watch of the pilots (GMT).

We can see one Explorer 1016, one Explorer II 1655 freccione 1 st series, one GMT 1675, and all the current models, included the new Explorer I.

In the center a 6263 Daytona and a Daytona Zenith in perfect condition.

For Explorer´s Lovers...





And for the one Gmt´s nuts...





Dayto Love...










More green...





Another interest of the exhibition was to see the evolution of the Submariner over the years. For this, the exhibition was ordered in 5 areas with speakers inside and iconic versions of Submariner and Sea Dweller models:

James knew to surround himself with beautiful things...




 














And, of course, the new Sub Date:



Nothing better than a table-shot to be able to admire the dimension of the event...





Let´s see and "in depth view" of some of the marvels that I found there:

Sea-dweller double red.... magnifique!





















Pure plexi porn!



And now, some pics of the, IMO, the Star of the event...Sub no crownguard ref 6536/1 en quite good condition... original crown, no graduated bezel, extensible bracelet quite Nos.... a Marvel!



























Rolex Brevettato Crown...

And now, an amazing 5513 Maxi Dial...


















And now, the Star is a soberb 5513 Cornino...





















The Cornino in detail...












Nice duo...



And some pics of a 5513 latest series, circle dial and a nice bezel...













A chick touch... the rotor runs! ...

And now, the best pics....

A magnificent place, a host of first class... the Excuse: the watches; the Reason: friends ....







I want to acknowledge the effort and dedication preparing this wonderful event to Alejandro and Daniel.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Un fuerte abrazo a todos.
Emilio

I like the way Rolex mixed old and modern watches.

And, through you words, I feel all the love you have for the no crownguard Sub.

Wish you dream becomes reality, Emilio.

Thanks a lot for this nice " slice " of Dream.

Certanlly, the way how them mixed the modern and the vintage watches in a same place. We can admire the past of the time in some rolex families (daytona, gmt, subs, explo...).

My eyes fell out of my head, rolled across the room, and then I had to retrieve them and place them back into their sockets!!!  There are so many gorgeous watches in your post!  Where to start?  Of course, I love James Bond's Submariner the best.  The picture of Sean Connery and Ursula Andress from "Dr. No" was a perfect addition to the display.  I wish I could've been there with you!

Glad you had fun, and thank you for sharing the good times with us!

Un beso!
Daos

lots of awesome watches (modern and vintages) in a same place.

And the addition of ads in the exhibition was a great idea, certanlly.

But you know that my best pleasure is share these great moments and watches with my Purist´s friends.

Un beso para tí también, mi querida amiga.

Emilio

The vintage Submariners are quite something.

- SJX

The vintage Rolexes are, with some few brands, IMO, the most beautiful vintage watches.

And there we had tons of them!

Very best.
