First Post, First Vintage Rolex...
Hello All,
I've been reading and watching for a bit now, and feel brave enough to ask the esteemed RF if they could enlighten me some more about my first vintage Rolex? Bought in NY a few years back; it caught my eye with the star indices, which I gather are pretty uncommon. It has an inscription dated 1958 (or possibly '56). Works beautifully. I subsequently found a b&w ad on the interwebs which suggests it's legit. My photos don't really do it justice, it looks really clean in the flesh. I was wondering whether one of the Hirsch Leonardo straps might be suitable to give it a more "finished" look. Any feedback gratefully accepted! |
