Wearing the 1953 6150 Explorer this evening. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the watch has been in the family since new and regularly serviced. The vintage backs have such fine engraving on them; especially the Rolex crown logo. I had asked the watchmaker to let me get a picture of the back when it was in for service last.

Not Rolex today Sunday October the 3rd.
By some reason, I canīt take this old (1960īs vintage) Omega Constellation, off my wrist, since previous Sunday, when I found it at my local friendly Vintage watch Store.
Hope you like it so much as myself!!
Kind regards, Abel
