Beautiful pics all around! Love this thread.

2 of my personal favorites.
7928, ticks all the boxes for me, and that lolipop seconds hand just adds that perfect touch.
6265 floating big red.

Wow, nice looking watch! Yes, Phillip and company are definitely class acts. We talked our plan out and he went to work sourcing a nearly new band. Expensive, but worth every penny. Thanks and congrats on your beautiful watch too. :-)

That is the question to ask....from what I understand, is that a true vintage Rolex has to have these 3 different areas:

1. Plastic crystal
2. 4 digit style number
3. Tritium/Radium hands and dials
