Stunning.

These are great pictures. Top, bottom, wrist roll. No steering wheels or scenic backdrops - it’s all about that watch - and what a beautiful watch!

PekWatchGuy · 15 January 2021, 08:42 PM

Great watch.
Bark Finish...this is new for me...interesting...

HogwldFLTR · 15 January 2021, 08:56 PM

Is this new for you? I saw it in the WRUR thread!! Very sharp looking!!!

Stewart_88 · 15 January 2021, 09:05 PM

Same as my dad's one and only rolex, which is what always inspired me to want a rolex one day. Beautiful watch

MillyS · 15 January 2021, 09:07 PM

ohh never seen a bark finish, looks stunning!

Stewart_88 · 15 January 2021, 09:08 PM

Also just noticed how the Roman 4 is IV, where some newer models are IIII

Little machines · 15 January 2021, 09:38 PM

Congrats! Beautiful watch !!

The bark type bracelets were discontinued in the 1980s early 1990s,I liked the bark finish but they were quite a bit more difficult to make. And like the Tridor 3 colour gold bracelets of the 1980s now both out of production both great looking bracelets.

Kostas · 15 January 2021, 10:14 PM

thanks everyone! yeah she's a stuner alright

zapokee · 15 January 2021, 10:57 PM

Love a bit of bark.

You have to make sure these have the right number of bracelet links before buying. Trying to source extra bark links is like trying to find a hen's uncle's cousin's teeth.

I like gold generally and love the idea of the Tridor - but in the metal they remind me of TT, which I only like on certain Cartier Santos models and one GMT Master. It was also done well by others - Dunhill made a load of three-golds 18K lighters back in the day using bands of each colour, they look great. If only I still smoked! I suppose I could take up cigars for yet another expensive hobby...

This is a beautiful 18078, Kostas.

Looking good Kostas

Thanks a bunch. Now I have to get a bark Day-Date. That's not going to do my wallet any good.

miamiclay · 16 January 2021, 03:00 PM

OMG. WG and YG bark bracelets? That's game over. Where do you go now?? Level up to vintage Ferrari.

carwashchris · 17 January 2021, 01:04 AM

Now I really miss mine

But there may another on the near horizon.

baumare · 17 January 2021, 01:51 AM

Nice! I thought I was the only one that like the Bark...

Here's mine 18078 from 1977

I expect there’s no need for that wallet-wrecking leap, as even just the Day-Date paths alone seem infinite - The lines divide and subdivide forever, into ever-tinier capillaries. Like seemingly all vintage Rolex references, it begins with a few distinct branches, and ends up among faint wisps of fog.

I was intrigued to learn here that the bark pattern is pressed/forged into the links, rather than engraved. A happy side effect of this is that non-factory barking is relatively easy to spot. OTOH, it doesn’t seem to take much polishing to kill the factory bark’s sparkle.
