Here's some snaps from the vintage part of my Rolex collection...

First up is a 6536-1 Submariner from 1959

5513 "Meters first" Submariner from 1967

a 1680 Submariner "Red Sub" from 1971

1655 Explorer II "Steve McQueen" or "Freccione" from 1972

1675 GMT Master "Pepsi" from 1979

and last a "semi-vintage" Daytona 16520 "Zenith" from 1997

Found this watchbox pretty good for bank safes, its a Orbita Lugano. Got two of them that fit nicely in the bank box. Solid aluminium design that takes a beating when travelling, and comes with a lock as well.

You have gotten a bit of history from the whole of rolex timeline. And the vintages are still so well maintained.
