That's one of the nicest vintage Rollies I have ever seen, although it's too small IMO at 32mm.

That is a gorgeous watch! Congrats! I've long admired the bubblebacks, but have not found one that tempted me to purchase...... yet.

Absolutely beautiful
I know this might sound weird but I love the fact that these watches are on the small side. It adds to the vintage vibe that these pieces have

I actually bought a bubbleback way back when, even before I "owned" my first Datejust, but I returned it within a few days due to the small size. I don't count it as an "owned" watch, so I guess that's why I forgot about it. My current watch is 35mm.

A stunning example! My very first Rolex was a solid gold bubbleback, and I have always liked the styling very much, so much so that I have never sold that one, and have owned it now for over 30 years!

Thats a beauty.... I still can recall back a few decades when they were the hottest Rolex watches to get a hold off (before the Tuna can on your wrist fad started )
