I wish the prices weren't insane for these:

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.
