My birth year.
Question, being out in the daylight, will it go darker or lighter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hello All...here is some very old patina (1954) from my father's Submariner 6205. I let it go to an avid collector several months ago due to the utterly ridiculous price it commanded and a need to diversify my collection to be able to be divided equally amongst my five children. This little gem spent 1966/67 in the jungles of Vietnam and then was "lost" for several decades before becoming a family "barn find"...gone but never forgotten. Hope you enjoy the picture that includes my father's Bronze Star Medal.

Took possession of this watch today. It's at 1967 Rolex 1675 with matte dial and the rare small GMT hand that is said to be the transitional model after the gilt dial. From what I have researched the very early matte dials came out with the small GMT hand before being replaced by the big hand production. Maybe they used the left over small GMT hands from the gilt dials before going to the big GMT hand with all the matte dials or maybe it was planned to do a small run of matte dials with small GMT hands....???
Either way I had to search high and low for this watch which seems to be in very limited numbers, especially in good condition. My knowledge of vintage watches is very small so correct me if anything above is wrong. Any how I think I'm I love with it. [/IMG] |

I've worn mine my 67 5513 fairly regularly for about a year with no noticeable difference. I guess we might not have as much sun in our part of the world |

Does it have to be a Rolex? OK, I have a couple of those, too.

Like how close the crystal is to the dial on 1675/0.

1967 Rolex 1675
Lets try this again as photos didnt work in the last post (still learning)

Nice!! Curious - How was the patina when you got it? Has it increased over these past 10 years? Finally I would assume before it went to your hands it as also rarely outside? Thanks! |
