A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex. Her friend said, 'Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?' 'HELLLOOOOOOO......,' answered the blond. 'They're watch dogs

Liberace, Elton John... besides both of those guys (and one's already dead) ..who the hell in their right mind would want a watch like this? ..ok, maybe Prince

Wow, a gorgeous piece! Wear in the best of health!

I think the most noticeable and gratifying would be a better insert and a gen pearl. Besides that, you could go for a gen crown/tube, and maybe even try to find a better crystal that doesn't have the etched crown. JJ

Nice job on the gen hands! Any other plans on further mods?

Very classy! Nice job modding, it's a beautiful franken

another great find

1655's are nice IMHO... Save your money and buy the real thing

2836-2 ETA is time tested and top of the line (unless of course, it's compared to my fav )

Thanks for all who replied

Thanks my friend! I've seen some nice gold date-just on the 'bay, and TT subs are fairly common there. Just pick your year, and start searching. Last year I picked up an "A" series TT sub with black dial, all original condition with nicely toned tritium hands and dial. Last week I took a day off and visited Rolex on 5th avenue. While getting my gold datejust authenticated (after all, provenance is king in the vintage world), I also brought along my TT sub for factory service If you do pick up a TT, next time you visit Manhattan bring it along for factory service on 5th Ave

Already up to $12,100 ...a 12 grand gamble if you ask me. Questionable at best!

Ros, Vly, and Lani, thanks for your kind comments Vly, of course I'll take you shopping... hmm... let's see.... 47th St, 53rd and 5th, 5th avenue, 57th st, the Bowery... Of course any day in the city makes a great day; maybe we can even convince Stephane to take another trip over here and come along Lani, you're right about that deep look 18k has, and this piece is 100%

During my never ending quest for vintage, I've found that my taste have changed to include all of the beautiful vintage pieces rolex made. After a good friend of mine picked up a color-change Au 1680 (with the original gold rivet bracelet no less!), I knew I had to keep my eyes open for some vintage gold. I got pretty lucky finding this piece, and like many of my other finds, it was purely by chance. This is an extremely rare bird, being one of the earliest of 1601 datejusts with a 742XXX serial number, putting production into mid 1961. Complete with original white matte radium pie-pan, original hands, a roulette that's in perfect new condition, the original and correctly date stamped jubilee, and of course solid 18k throughout.

Beautiful piece! Wear in good health

WTF? PS: Here ya go, a set of GEN spring bars

It doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, these things cost ten bucks right?

"Obama's Nobel Peace Price" Check this out ...and then this one

My 5513 is like that

Very nice, that's a huge step forward if they look good
