rower Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Next week is Friday the 13th...I hope I see this picture again!
Legend Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 For the rest of us curious Rolex noobs and idiots, can someone please kindly explain what the special deal is? Obviously this is something special but I am just too dumb to realize what it is.

Obviously this is something special but I am just too dumb to realize what it is. Legend, I'm lucky because this watch is still all original from the early 70s and it has the brushed silver date wheel with the flat top 3s. They're just sexy and iconic from that era of early Rolex... and impossible to photograph so they don't look white.
Legend Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks kindly for the explanation my friend. It's interesting to learn about the date font history of the most iconic watch brand in the world. Thanks B! Sent from Mars using tapatalk
Legend Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Here's another Lol. That was hilarious! Sent from Mars using tapatalk
Nanuq Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Posted March 7, 2015 Love the 33! Yeah! That's the ultra rare concentric date complication Rolex used for a very short time in the early 60s, there are two date discs side by side, each half the width of the usual disc. In this case it's showing March 3rd.

Mendota Explorer Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Nanuq, you have the most amazing vintage watchbox. Seriously, my absolute grail box. I want every piece in your collection.
Nanuq Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks ME, I'm a blessed man to have stumbled across these old beauties.

Legend Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 That Nuqi is a Wiley one... so, would YOU be kind enough and tell me about that "33" date? Please? I kept coming back just to look at that pic haha
Nanuq Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Posted March 8, 2015 Photoshop! Well! You question my word!! ....and you're right! funny thing, most people don't spot the 33 when I put that photo up.
jackflash Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Can't wait to see what you come up with on 1st of the 4th
