I'll readily admit to being very tribal by nature - must be 'me age' - but I love Omegas and don't care for these over-flashy Rolexes at all. I was going to question why people are posting so many pics of the damn things on this Omega Forum, but then I thought it's actually for the good, as seeing this parade of 'em just makes me appreciate my - and everybody else's - Omegas all the more. So much more subtle and quietly authoritative as tool watches yet beautifully elegant too.

What a perfect description of vintage Rolex!

Kind of like these:




There's plenty of examples 😉

i'm going to assume people are probably posting pictures of and talking about rolexes here because THIS IS THE ROLEX PORTION OF THE FORUM. in any case, i don't see how one can over-generalize. there are ugly omegas and there are ugly rolexes. and people don't have the same taste in watches. maybe i'm just not getting the "me age."

Hello Forum. Long time reader, had the feeling I need to show off! 😀

I own 4 at the moment, two more on the wish list.

A Ref 5513 Maxi Dial from 1978

A GMT Master 16753 1980



A Explorer II from the 1990's. I hated the cyclops on this one and got it removed. My summer watch.



A recent Oyster Perpetual. I only do vintage watches but made an exception for this one - I love the grey dial and the overall look.

My explorer 2. 1997 I actually like the cyclops but they are a lovely summer watch.

While not initially a Rolex fan, I fell for Tudors first, but have grown to like the look of big brother.
Only 3, all with military provenance.
Buster
is that a 5517 in the middle? awesome watches.

I've never read this thread before today. I wasn't really a Rolex devotee but I always felt the call of the classic diver. Now I have two and a half Rolexeses ...

The one that started it all ...



Then the clean looks of this 1991 ...



and, finally for now, the half ... from 1927 and still awaiting a well priced movement for parts

Welcome to OF and thanks for posting and showing us your beautiful watches! I love the root beer with the SS jubilee, that's a great look!

Had a green-glass Milguass that got stolen. They took a modern Movado too, but left my wife's Cartier Tank Francaise and two Longines 30L's I had nearby. Don't miss the Milgauss but the 30L's would've really pissed me off.

Just three and a Tudor also since it is in the family. Thinking of selling one of my subs. My collection consist mostly of Omega watches. By the way , the Tudor is the most accurate, less than +1 second per day. My Rolex watches tend to run a little slow.
