Three Brothers

[JoJo35]

Three brothers, all nearing 46 years old, yet still classic cornerstones of Rolex.

Certainly small by today's standards, the 34mm Oyster Perpetual takes some getting used to after wearing any of the larger modern watches. In my humble opinion, these pieces are still just as classy as they were brand new in the dealers case so many years ago. All of these watches have the famed 1560 movement, which is itself a testament of good engineering since they have lasted so long, still working as good as new.

Nice looking watches jojo, are these which rep dealer did you get these from? Just kidding...they truly are incredible! The aging is really nice!

Bravo, JoJo. A wonderful clan & not small at all. 36mm is the sweet spot for a classic gentleman's watch & anything over 40mm is, to my eye, just showy overkill.

Beautiful group of watches JoJo. The 1530/1560's were 18K beats and were supplanted by the 1520/1570 in the middle 60's (19800bph).

That 1005 is a beaut, but the 1002 is the epitome of Rolex classic design- understated, but classic.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Although the 1005 is the cleanest, I agree with alligoat, and the 1002 is on my wrist as I type

[Brightight]

Beautiful! I wonder if the fashion will swing back to smaller watches?

1002 and 1003 for me!

Once again, you made it my friend...what a great trio

[Slartibartfast]

Superb comparison shots. Three great models!

[JoJo35]

Thanks again for all the positive comments guys. Although these are "just" OP's, these three are rare ones. I'll admit I enjoy wearing the steel watches the most, yet I'll keep the two tone in my collection as a rare and super clean example of one of Rolex's most basic designs.

Nice collection JJ! And rare indeed! Love those underline dials.
