Christmas Family Shot

As Christmas is a time for families I thought I'd have a little family get together.
Here are a couple of pics of my little Rolex family huddled around the Rolex prayer mat

I really want a 1655, but the prices on those in Tokyo are astronomical. That is a great watch. You must be very happy with that collection.

Hi Vukota,
The other members are shaking their heads right now as I don't have to be asked twice to post pics of the 1655 .
I have also added a pic of the 16550 and 1655 together

Otto,
That is about right at present right across the world from a bricks and mortar dealer.
I have seen 4 sell here in the UK for between £9500 and £12,500 GBP and in the sates the ones I've seen sell on eBay for example have been in the $17000 to 18000 dollar bracket which is not a lot cheaper in reality.
Cheers,


Spark.
