    Currently two. A 1975 Datejust 1601 and a 1972 Day-Date 1803. I flipped the 5513 in 2016.

    Two at present.

    The blue faced midsize is from 1997, the same year my daughter was born. Currently I'm looking for an Air King or Explorer from 1999, the year of my son's birth. IMG_0293.JPG

    Oh, I already have a sweet spot. Even has a date cyclops, actually - the 1675 is the exception to the rule ;) But the way prices are going and the number of skilled fakes out there that I can't spot, I'm not touching 'em.

    If I won the lottery though I think a 6542 would be one of the first things I'd buy!

    Easy solution: just go with a reputable dealer, like hqmilton..

    I always assumed this was the case - but this morning I took delivery of my first rolex, an 16610 sub (thanks @watchlovr) and an hour later in my very first meeting the first words out of the other guys mouth was 'Hey, you have a new watch! You bastard, that' s the one I've wanted for years'. Genuinely, this has never happened to me before. Apologies for the shoddy photo - it was a rush... 20170119_101920.jpg
