I wish the prices weren't insane for these:
http://www.iconicwatchcompany.com/6263daytona1.html I just can't justify that kind of sum for an older stainless watch....not yet at least heh... |

I'm not really sure there's an end to this. Throw in a 1665 double red and a COMEX and we're gettin to maybe half way |

my grandfather's rolex. it was passed down to his oldest child according to tradition. My uncle wore that was until it was beat and I never got a chance to examine it. it is most likely a late 50s/60s datejust 1601 but I cant confirm.

Not vintage, but absent a lottery win or similar windfall I can't see I'll ever manage to get one of these (WG GMT)

I love these subs with the lollipop all the way at the end of the second had. Not sure if there is a special term for it.
