Hi Guys!!
Beautiful watches!! I love the looks of vintage... and gold!
Only two examples in my collection, I regret.

1501 Date, vintage c.1982, bought brand new that year.



and this one bought a few days ago:
Bubbleback ref 3131, c. 1940.



Hope you like them!
Very cordially, Abel

Thank you Leo!! That´s very kind of you!

I surely would love to own a Midas myself! That´s a gold watch!
Thank you again!
Receive my most cordial regards, Abel.

My only gold Rolex

I dont chase the gold stuff too much, but this one found me quite by chance so I couldn't really knock it back

Anyone any thoughts on the winding crown, is it original or would it have had a crown motive on it?

Hi Jedly1!! That´s a gorgeous watch!! I got a TT Sub (bluesy) which comes with a similar color dial, (not nipple) may be the most besautiful blue on a watch dial ever.
Thanks for sharing!! Very cordially, Abel

I think it's just old enough to be almost vintage.
