Vintage catalogue scans?
Is there a resource on the internet that has scans of Rolex catalogues over the years? It would make for some fun browsing but I can’t find anything like that.

Thanks Lee. I was interested in 1970/1971 but really thought it would be a fantastic resource for vintage enthusiasts. Surprised nobody has collected them together and presented chronologically as scans.

So cool! I'm curious, were there day date pics in the 1970 catalogue? Curious how early they had concealed clasp also.

Nice work Lee! Although, I see no mention of rootbeer GMTs. They truly are the redheaded stepchild of Rolex. Love the prices scrawled above the images. If only…

You know, if someone posted either one of these exact watches as a piece they’re interested in buying, they’d get no fewer than 20 comments saying: “It’s been over-polished. That upper right lug is way too thin, and the seller is lying when he says it’s unpolished.” We’ve gotta let go of this everything being “over-polished” obsession. . |

Wow. 1959 is such a trip! Wasn’t expecting to see one earlier than the mid sixties. Again, thanks for the contributions.

A little digging and I actually found some great scans (though incomplete) from 1966.
