Hell of an impulse buy right there!

Love those textured dials.

Imagine if the GMTs and subs still had dials like this. We can dream

There are some real beauties on this thread. I especially like the smooth bezels. Just wish my wrist were small enough for me to pull off a 34 mm...

Beautifull time pieces guys.

The same 6106 on a metal band for the tropical summers in Taiwan. I think it looks better on a strap.

34mm wristshot thread !


I think the first 6518 Q1 1954 in this thread. Can someone recommend a good source of 19mm straps for these oldies?

I purchased several years ago at a local well known jeweler/Rolex dealer. I love it, but never wear it anymore (into a Sub phase now) so am probably going to sell it at some point. They are true classics!

What kind of moron restores a 6284? That would be me. You might not be able to tell from the candid, but the hands and indices are rose. Too small? I think not.
