My Vintage Collection (So Far)

Hello Everyone.

I'm kinda new to TRF, and I just got bitten by the Rolex bug in November. I thought I'd share what I have in my collection so far.

The first is a 1952 Oyster Perpetual. It was in a bit of a sad state when I acquired it, but it is fresh from my watchmaker and keeping excellent time!

The next is an Oyster Royal Manual Wind from 1961. It was my first Rolex and it loves sitting on my wrist.

Last but not least in a 1965 Air King. Love the simplicity!

Thanks David, I think my favourite has to be the '52 Bubbleback. Something about the fact that it's 60 years old and still runs and looks great.

New Year's resolution: Add a vintage sports model ASAP!

I was wondering the same thing. Either way, that Oyster Perp is stunning.
