jmb Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Here are a couple pics of my current crop of 34mm watches. One is in surgery and not shown and I have a couple of sub-34mm examples as well. The silver dial Air-King has the most gen parts with only the ETA movement and hands not being gen. The black dial Air-King is a total rep that I transplanted from a 36mm case into a 34mm. It has been fun building them. From left to right startig with back row: Tudor Two-Tone Prince Oysterdate Tudor No-Date with a dial I'm beginning to believe is pre-1950 Tudor Ranger Tudor Prince Oysterdate Front Row: Rolex Air-King Rolex Oyster Perpetual Rolex Air-King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Super J! You've got one for each day of the week and each one has a unique look and story behind it! As LHOOQ said, you've got a nice little family there! Thanks for obliging my request to snap a group shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Red, no problem. I didn't realize I had so many of 'em, no wonder I have been raising wife.gov's eyebrows lately! The two-tone and the black dial Air-King will probably need to find another place to live but I can't bear to think about parting with any of the others!

dv_indian Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Nice collection! 34mm is my preferred size too. It's difficult to find anything good in that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Red, no problem. I didn't realize I had so many of 'em, no wonder I have been raising wife.gov's eyebrows lately! I did exactly the same thing .. when that "how much is your rep collection worth in GEN dollars" thread was posted last month, I suddenly realized I have 12 reps .. I had NO IDEA!!

jmb Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 ...I suddenly realized I have 12 reps .. I had NO IDEA!! Damn, you just prompted me to do a count and I'm back up to 24!!! I understand why I get the "eye" sometimes... I have been trying to thin the herd lately, and have sold about 4-5 over the last month, but some of them I can't stand to put up for sale even though I will probably never wear them again.

alligoat Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nice collection, JB! I'd love to see a close up of the last two- the OP and the AK w/ the silver dial. That OP looks like a silver dial fading to beige- common in those old Rolexes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks JB, I ran across the AK earlier today in my catch up reading! The OP looks good too! here's an op date with the silver turned to beige dial, c. 1966, on the left, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
