Two classics
We all know there's nothing like searching and finding great vintage pieces
Of my Rolex watches these two bring me the most joy... 1680 - all original Red Sub from 1970. 16750 - all original GMT from 1981. It took me a while time to hunt down these two NOS beasts and they're an absolute joy to wear and look at The only thing I have done to them is fitting new bracelets. Here are a few snaps taken earlier today...

Wow,
The RedSub is excellent, though I would have to sell two of my watches to obtain one, so it's out of budget for me... I am hoping to obtain a white Sub at some point... Thanks for sharing the pics, I think you may be promoting vintage ownership with those nice photo's...

So AMAZING!!!
I'd love a Pepsi GMT...I just don't feel like I could wear it as an everyday watch because of the colors. Maybe I need to get over that and just buy one...
