    The top row shows nine Rolex watches. I’ve sold the Daytona and the GMT Master II.

    I've bought a few, but didn't keep any of them. Nothing special to me about a modern Rolex. Now a gilt 1966 Sub or GMT might be just the ticket to make me a proud Rolex owner again. If I had to choose a modern Rolex, it would be the SD43. Perfect size for me.

    The patina on that first watch's markers is pretty advanced. Very nice.

    I only have one now. A 16710 with three bezels and both bracelets. I don’t much like the modern watches although I am strangely finding myself drawn to the sky dweller!. I did sell a Kermit last year, but no regrets as I have a Tudor harrods to replace.

    I tend to prefer Tudor and omega these days as I know I can buy one if I want to within reason.

    I think so too. If I had to go down to one watch, this would be it. I’m thinking of picking up a root beer bezel insert also.

    Actually just posted this a few days ago, so nice timing! The Red sub 1680 is a new arrival. The 16750 has been with me for a few months and I love it. The matte dial is awesome and the case is thin enough to wear comfortably.

    I also have this cool DJ but it is actually being listed for sale today to make up for the Sub purchase!

    True story...

    I was in a local jewelry store getting a present for my wife's birthday last summer. Started talking to the owner who I know for a while and while he isn't really a "watch guy" he knows some things. I bought my first watch from him over a decade ago, a Mille Miglia. I was wearing my 1971 Speedy which he recognized as a vintage Speedy. Got to talking and he said "I bought 4 50th anniversary Subs and I just have them sit in my safe". My ears perked up "you have 4 Kermits? Would you let one of them go? Let me see them". Sure enough he pulls out all 4 so I can see them. All in plastics. But I quickly look at the bezels and I see one of them is a flat four. I ask what the serials are and how much he would want and he goes down the list. The flat four is an F3 serial. Now I'm really interested. He quoted me a price that made it fairly clear to me he had no idea the additional value the MkI flat four held. Bought it on the spot. Sent it in to RSC for a movement servicing (and authenticity check) and all is well.

    Just the one watch worn every day 1675 with service case, rare service tritium marked luminova dial, service hands and new jubilee bracelet

    best of both worlds vintage but modern

    At this point I personally wouldn’t care about flat 4( not worth the premium) if I get one... I do draw the line at the rehaut though!

    Killer piece!
