Some kind of blue



Today was a day off, and I had to pick a new box for my collection, then I had to show it to you by some pictures I have made this afternoon.
I hope you will enjoy !!!

So, first, the box, a rare version of the datejust' s box, the luxury one.
The reference is 51.00.71 on the main box, and the outter box get the 79159 reference.


The box is in a beautiful blue leather with the "rolexrolexrolex..." on it ...
You can close this box with a golden crown key, here on the top of it :


Now the box opened, where you can put one watch in the middle, and beside of it, your rings, cufflinks, etc ...


Here just a detail of the "rolexrolexrolex ..." on the lock :


Now the "unerground" of this box, where you can put some straps, ties, or anything can fit in it ... :


I know that is just a box, but I was looking for one like that since a long time, the feeling of quality is incredible, and the leather smell is "magic".
I will put some straps in it and some pieces with one or two watches for my holidays...

Now, it s the time for some other pictures I ve made just for you ;) :
some oysters


my favorite vintage at the top


wonderful reflects


Tudor on nato, good contrast


A great diver in the blue


Natos ...



And now to close this post, two new pics I ve made in black and white :



I hope you have taken pleasure to look at my humble photos
Cordially, Jason Spring

By the way, the wifey wants to know why the boxes are blue when the correct colour for Rolex should be green?
