Very nice watch and article!

Beautiful! Great find.

Robbyman · 20 January 2016, 06:26 AM

Wow

swish77 · 20 January 2016, 06:35 AM

Fabulous! How can anyone argue that these '80s-early '90s sport Rolexes are not vintage just because they have gloss dials and WG hour markers? Great "vintage" GMT!

HL65 · 20 January 2016, 07:07 AM

Great article and Justin is a great guy!

You're right! Those watches are now 20-30 years old. I like to call them "NEO VINTAGE." Honestly they're my preferred "vintage" to collect. Compared to true vintage, they're way more affordable. Also, compared to models from '50s-'70s, they're less likely to have been tinkered with/have non-original parts. Further, many are still in the possession of original owners, so there's a high likelihood of scoring an honest piece (like this one!)

Lucky man! I'll see it (and you) during the NFL bye-week!

greekbum · 20 January 2016, 01:29 PM

Nice watch its my personal favorite having bought one new as a teenager and still wearing it after all these years. A minor note if you look at the green paper holder it indicates it came from the factory on a jubilee 62510 bracelet.

RC2 · 20 January 2016, 02:17 PM

Nice one!

Saw that Nick.....according to the selling authorized dealer the bracelet was swapped at the time of purchase, in favor of a 93150/580.
