My Vintage Rolex Collection (Ongoing)


aphillipe

Recommended Posts

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..

Great collection man. Being a cigar guy I dig your first photo. Can't decide which one I like best they are all very well executed.

You would not regret doing a full on 6538 build.

Thanks drop (especially coming from you)... Those cigars are hand rolled by an ex cigar roller of Fidel Castro at the famous boutique hotel and cigar factory Graycliff in the Bahamas...they are about as good as it gets! Watched them make them for me while we ate dinner.

I am familiar with these cigars. Very special. You can tell by the pics they are one off rolled. Two of my favorite things cigars and Rolex's
