I have a few:
1908 Wilsdorf & Davis, from the same year Wilsdorf registered the tradename Rolex. Who knows, ol' Hans himself might have handled this one   my most recent Rolex acquisition, an early 1930's gold plated. I received it a few months ago, pretty good shape overall. I might have the case replated, and the dial and hands cleaned up one of these days    circa 1938 British military pocket watch with correct broad arrow. The B designated it as a backup timepiece, typically carried in a holder in a vehicle or vessel    this Tudor dates to around 1947, originally given as a presentation watch   Nancy has a couple, including this telephone dial with the original expansion bracelet from 1937    and this one from around 1960, which Rolex Canada serviced a couple of years ago. Pretty good service for a 50 year old watch.    Rolex gold work wasn't always done in-house

Two. (red 1680 and a 16660)
I also have three homages to classic vintage Rolexes/Tudors. (1016, 1655, 9411) I definitely have the bug. I love the style of these old watches. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk |

2 when I am home I wear them both. :)
When I'm out it's either one. 1967 in NOS condition from Eric Ku, just serviced for the first time ever by Bob Ridley! 5512 is on a NATO cordovan, though I have the original USA rivet expandable bracelet but with the end links are ricket but in otherwise pristine shape original factory finish no scratches and I don't want it to rub out the numbers bec of the end links. The Maxi 3 5513 from jedly is on a 93150 from 1980 with box and guarantee sold in 1981 in Vienna. Slightly big on my wrist but I like that since it pokes out whenever I wear my jacket. 5512 is for super casual or for the weekends mostly. |
