ubiquitous Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 A VERY top notch vintage collection, Arthur! Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Beautiful collection, Arthur. But I do have one question, how can you fit OEM hands to a MBW 1665? The MBW has an ETA movement, and the OEM hands will only fit a 1575 movement. Unless you pulled a Saabin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the collector Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just add a Vintage explorer and the collection is complete... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the collector Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 The question is, WHICH vintage explorer?? Just look at Tanfo's collection... I'll take anything from the bottom row, thankyouverymuch! I mean the 1655, in the middle Talking about vintage 1655's, check this baby out http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Explorer-Vintage...tem280056717075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the collector Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) I dunno... I'd give a lot to have Tenzing Norgay's Explorer. Tenzing Norgay, which one is his explorer?? Edited December 7, 2006 by the collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the collector Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Tenzing Norgay.... ok so add a Tenzig and the 1655.... and that should complete the collection... actually a 6265 with a exotic black dial would fitnicely into that collection....

eunomians Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 The 1016 is a KILLER watch. I wish that I had been smart enough to pick a lovely one up back in the early '90s for less than $700. It came with papers & box... And it had a GILT dial. Once again this is a fine example of how amazingly dumb I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is alwyas easy to regret something you did or did not do, i regret that i sold my SS Daytona 5 years ago, looking at the prices today on ebay....

jsph Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 euno + nanuq -- guys, i've seen the watches you DO have, rep and gen, and i have to say, if you have ANY watch regrets whatsoever, you've got to count to ten and reassess. yes, i know you're talking hypothetically and maybe monetarily, but seriously folks, how could you (eg, euno) not spend all day and all night basking in warm, fuzzy, endlessly-fulfilled feelings, wearing and watching your, eg, gen 5513, taking care of business on your wrist? ah, t'would be a beautiful thing... step 3: enjoy. jsph p.s. "boy do i ever not regret that time in 2006 when this princely gent of a man, eunomians, offered me his gen 5513 for $300 and a box of ginger snaps, all in the spirit of christmas.... that was the stuff!"
