Sorry if my observation seemed rude. I just get bored looking at 3-4 pics of the same watch on a different strap before I see one picture of something else. I'll go play somewhere else...
If you can't wade through all the boring subs and gmts and find inspiration on this thread, there's not much hope for you anywhere! I do see your point about the repetition, but we are passionate about vintage Rolex, and some of us only have one or two, or a few, so we enjoy them more by strap changes and accessorising. I know several of us just enjoy the picture-taking element as well, so please excuse our ' gratuitous "every day is vintage day" ' indulgence. There are plenty of 1665s here as well, and many other references, but you do have to trawl through the mire of run-of-the-mill stuff, sorry. Good luck finding what you like

Thanks!

Grey market 83 Turbo that started life on your side of the pond and has been sitting for 10 years. I have my work cut out for me on this one.

Those old turbos are cool buddy! Fun to drive too! I drove a friend's a while ago. Turbo lag is huge at first but when it kicks in... Grin from ear to ear!

Yup, this car is the poster child for turbo lag. A stat came out in the late 70's that 70% of all 930 turbos visited the body shop within the first year, due to the combination of turbo lag and terminal understeer. If you know what you're doing they are a blast to drive, nothing quite like it.

I miss my 993 S. Should never have sold it.

Good luck with your restoration project.

1974, Bucherer Chrono (Lemania 1340)
1969, Tissot T12 Chonograph (Lemania 861)
