After selling all my reps back in February, I decided to start from scratch and go the vintage Rolex route. I'm 5 watches in so far but hope to keep it under 10 in total so they all get some wrist time and can be of good quality. I wanted to thank PBDad for his builds, and Jase (JDog on most of the forums) for his outstanding modding work and lastly Dave for his servicing as all movements just got serviced outside the Heritage as it's brand new anyways. And YES I suck at photography but I don't have the time at the moment to do this justice.. Watches in my box: 1665 Great White SD:
