I'm just learning the lingo - my grail will change as I see new and more desirable vintage Rolex. I'm also now beginning to look at the very early Men's rolex watches as they are small enoug for a woman to wear and I really like them. Love that 1955 triple chrono. Is that solid gold?

You want to see a desirable vintage men's? Check this one. A grail of many, to be owned by a very precious few. It would certainly be near the top of my list. Rolex wise, If I could go out tomorrow and choose... It would likely be this one. Star Index Moonphase. A classic that trumps most any other. Complications, Elegance, and loads of Class. Absolutely timeless, never to be made again. Photo from John Goldbergers book: 100 Superlative ROLEX.
