Another sexy plexi thread :)

On my drive in to work this morning, I couldn't help but admire morning sunshine gleaming off the plexi dome of my 1665. I love the warmth and depth of these plexi crystals!! What is it that you love about plexi? Please share those great pics that show off the plexi goodness...

Only two to share; love them both! The first shot really shows off the sexy plexi.

We are a strange lot. I see these pics of plexi and it throws me back to being a kid in the late 60's and being with my dad. Strange how certain things can trigger memories. Glass would not have the same effect. Never thought of this before.
Cheers.

Looking at a matte dial beneath a plexi crystal is one of the joys of vintage ownership. My favorite has got to be the 1665.

Great photos of beautiful Plexi Rolexes. I love my two and could see going to a Plexi only collection. They can be such just great watches.

I just have to post two more pics from the drive home today. I just can't get enough! Beautiful pics of the plexi above

I am debating whether I should use some poly watch or let the scratches stay for a while…
