Historical and significant Rolex references
Are you leaning toward a favorite - or like children - love both equally?

Yazo,

Those two watches are absolutely wonderful.

Congrats to the new addition!

You have had a fantastic journey into vintage. I remember your first post, and when you got the 6263. I also saw your recent post over at VRF where you got some very fine comments.

Once again: Congrats!

Best,

A

Nicely done, Sunny!! Don't mess around with any sapphire Daytonas. Save those bonuses from Billy Gates and get yourself a proper Paul Newman.......
