I walked into a little shop this afternoon and thought of the vintage Rolex section of this forum. Anything look good here? Or mostly junk?
HAGW!
Cheers!

A real mixed bag... might not even all be real, judging by these pics.

DiverAsia · 22 November 2014, 11:32 PM

I liked the 1803 and 1601, not sure about the Explorer or the Tudor Princes. Really not sure about any of them as I would not know what to look for. Thanks! Anything there worth something if it was found to be real?

The DD looks good. TOG looks like a redial. DJ ok as well.

Jason71 · 23 November 2014, 12:11 AM

Ranger is fake.

DiverAsia · 23 November 2014, 12:21 AM

The TOG dial is a very dark green. Too bad about the Ranger.

The Explorer is a redial at best. IMHO

motoikkyu · 23 November 2014, 01:35 AM

Looks to me like the DD is a Wide-Boy dial with stick hands. That's not wrong or anything, it's just not as much fun as the Wide-Boy hands.

dpa94114 · 23 November 2014, 03:51 AM

WOW - how much for the day-date with the red vignette dial? That's an amazing piece, very hard to find!

Do they have a website - LOL

Cortezthekiller · 23 November 2014, 04:24 AM

The vignette DD is what caught my eye. I really like the one without diamonds.

Oh yes, didn't notice that. I've seen most people mention they like the wide hands with the WB dial. Hope he didn't piece it together. I'll ask.

I was with my wife and daughter going to dinner when we saw the shop so didn't have time to have a sit down with the watches so didn't ask the price on that one. They don't have a site, I asked. I'll ask the price when I go by next.

I will be sure to ask about it and take some better photos next time.

Thanks for all the info. Cheers!

btw, they had about 4 IWCs in YG there as well. To the right of the day-date with the red vignette dial is one in Platinum.

dysondiver · 23 November 2014, 08:39 AM

a mixed bag , but some of its looking good

watch royal · 23 November 2014, 10:00 AM

There are many nice peices in there. Careful with the explorer because alot of that style are re dialed air kings. What was the price of the white dialed bubble back rolex? Its the white rolex on the left side of the photo, it says oyster perpetual & at the bottom it says certified chronometer? Its nice, I like that one, find out the case number, it could be a nice collector's grade bubble back

DiverAsia · 23 November 2014, 10:39 AM

I saw that one as well, it has no date like most i have seen though. Let me ask and get back to you. I think there is a SS one as well in there. Cheers!

Pretty cool collection. That deep red DD vignette would be stunning on the right strap.

I've been seeing a log of these but all have diamonds. Plain red dials seem to be in the 1.5k range. Maybe this one is worth something after all. I'd like a DD with a white dial. Maybe I should get this one and swap out the dial

Seems to be a lot of interesting pieces that pop up around here. Welcome!

landroverking · 23 November 2014, 11:58 PM

I guess prices would tell the story. A redial at a great price for example.

Were you speaking of the YG model? or the SS one?
Is that a 1030?
I asked and the YG one is about 7k and the SS model is about 3k.
But the SS one has really been messed with on the case. It has been engraved on the back as well. I don't think anyone would like it really.
Cheers!
