Sweet underline!

I really love the crown on those pieces. My favorite right behind the tulip.

Nice one, and congrats.

Wow another great one! Do the hands and markers still glow? They still look active, but could be pics.

Indeed it does. Very brightly but extremely short amount of time. I guess the mix on these dials was strong. I've had it confirmed by a few people that it is original lume. It sort of shocked me. I've read that it may be a high level of phosphorescence.

How do you Americans say? "On the roll"? Great choice of watch with an extremely rare dial. And in perfect conditions too, what can you ask more?
You have great taste in your watch choices, not only for the new pieces but also for the vintage gems.

It's not necessarily so, acquiring a piece like that is not only a matter of being wealthy, many other things are involved. Studying and learning the beauty of vintage Rolex is not only a matter of money.
