Still on the hunt for my first.

mistral · 17 October 2011, 09:50 AM

1 only; original owner of 6239 PN (full set B/P & sale receipt) bought Sept 71.

greekbum · 17 October 2011, 12:27 AM

Like they say 1 is enough and 100 is not enough

Alcan · 17 October 2011, 12:58 AM

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

Dr. Robert · 17 October 2011, 02:19 AM

these........all w/ plastic crystal.....

1601 18K YG(was my dad's, from 1963)

1655 explorer....I bought new in 1973

this was my dad's, he liked mine & went & got one for himself shortly after.....

A slightly newer vintage.....

Wow great collection AL

Brenngun · 17 October 2011, 07:48 AM

2 looking to add a 3rd.

TheDude · 17 October 2011, 12:32 AM

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.

dddrees · 17 October 2011, 12:46 AM

Just one so far. A 1680 Red Sub.

Jagatai · 17 October 2011, 12:55 AM

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.

red1108nyc · 17 October 2011, 08:01 AM

One and only here.. this one:

cruvon · 17 October 2011, 10:14 AM

Jannal · 17 October 2011, 10:44 AM
