A threesome of five

Hi all,
After 2 years of hunting, I finalised my Rolex quest.
I got the 3 Rollies I wanted, they are the very last of each five digits model.
16520 P, 16710 with the 3186 inside and the 16610 random.
The Daytona was the hardest to get, the Subby has an incredible accuracy (a few seconds per month) and the GMT is the one I wear most.

Nice Air, Land & Sea collection. All late examples with SEL as far as I can see.

Very nice, congratulations.

Since I bought an early 16520 I'm not that bothered about buying more watches. It is so comfortable and, to my eye, classy and classic that I'm not really interested in the more modern versions. I now only tend to wear this or my 5 digit Subs.

Very nice collection indeed, that’s a rare serial for the Daytona. I wish mine was a P to match the 16710.

Great collection! Wish I jumped on a 16520 when they were under 5 figures.
