I took inventory today of my watch collection. During the process, I shot quite a few pics. Here are a couple of my dear sweet darlings (old veteran members will recall these two I am sure). Some details... Circa '65-'66 1675 with original small GMT hand (from the factory). Yes, it came this way from the factory. This prompted an interesting debate 15 or so years ago when folks started coming out of the woodwork with stories of Rolex finding caches of old parts in the mid-60s (and subsequently using them up despite being slightly outdated. Very 1960s Breitling-esque, I might add). Still have the original folded Jubilee bracelet as well. Mov't has been keeping chronometer time specs since it was born. Crazy accurate. Circa '67-'68 5513 with original Twinlock crown system intact and original T-19 Superdome. I have a NOS Twinlock tube, gasket & crown waiting around for servicing in a few years. I also have a Triplock system for it. I might just install the Triplock to avoid humidity issues in the future. 1520 mov't is also superbly accurate. I've got the original faded bezel insert stashed away that I, from time to time, slap on the watch. I also wear it on its original Oyster bracelet, too. I almost sold this watch a few months ago. Somehow I managed to regain my senses right before closing the deal. What the heck was I thinking!! What is fascinating about these movements is that they autowind to max. capacity extremely rapidly--more than any other auto-mech watch I've owned to date. I know that there are some vintage lovers around these parts!

Started off today with my Slytech, but sending it off for a little mod. Switched to my Tudor Sub:

update please

Heresy! Actually, that is probably why I like it. Me too. I tried to live with a Speedy rep for two years, but I just couldn't. I finally gave up and saved for the gen (my first, pictured below). I would love to get a rep that accepts gen dials because there are a couple special editions that I would like but don't want to pay the premium.

That's why I bought a gen....got tired of waiting

I think a well prepped monies would sell along with a proper SMP. I have wanted both of these for so long its not even funny. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
