thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) im going to combine my thread from below with this since its almost the same theme. well ive been eagerly waiting the arrival of the 4th for no other reason than its my favourite date numeral aesthetically. if thats not a sure sign i need to diversify my hobbies and get out more im not sure what is well since its short lived and will be away again soon, though id get a photo up. anyone else get excited by such things, what makes your month watch wise?

Corgi Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I am thinking of getting a vintage Daytona... these old Rolexes have a certain appeal - even though they are stainless steel and have a very economic, simple design, their value is astounding - in good condition they fetch over $50,000 , rare color combinations in great condition over $80,000.... definitely gives the modern Daytona crowd a run for their money. The only down side to the old Daytonas is that untrained, unknowledgeable folk may easily mistake them as fake for the wrong reasons. Yes, they are fake, of course, but not because they don't look like modern cosmographs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) make sure you get them in while you can. its not long left until its gone for another month loving the old school snaps festival though, youve got a beautiful collection there and you havent even brought out your non crown guard masterpiece yet. ive only got one date model so thats me spent. aw shucks, couldnt resist anyways....

docblackrock Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Just for you, L-dizzle Nanuq - please send me that 1675 now - you can even keep the jubilee, crystal and dial, just send case and movement - call it a belated birthday gift Wightstuff - nice to see the 'Twins' out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 But sadly for now she lies asleep, frozen on the 31st until a new insert can be found You see? THIS is why we need a vintage room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) haha, yeah ive gone to the dark side with the 16800 . ive been hankering after a date and cyclops for a while but just wasnt feeling the regular 1680s with the similarity with my non dates and was unwilling to stump for a red just to have that dial.....though what a dail. decided a transitional matte 16800 was the way forward to add some variety but also because i cant stomach gloss and WG surrounds. its old case material, matte and tritium but the unidirectional bezel and a sapphire crystal. im liking the bezel assy, it feels more like engineering though i keep trying to turn it the wrong way haha. I am still unsure ref the sapphire though, i like plexi too much and am finding the sapphire too bling but its growing on me. it feels chunkier on the wrist than the 551Xs which im loving. its very close with the 1665s in bulk actually the twins are about to be parted doc, the 5513 is on its way to a new home soon with the 16800 coming. theres no way the 5512 is going anywhere and i dont really need the two. i try to keep my habit in check with the rule, if im not wearing it alot it cant stay. the 5513 was my daily and the 16800 has usurped it so its role is less clear what a feast of vintages though gen and rep, keep em coming if this doesnt show a vintage forum will go down a storm i dont know what will. doc, whats up with your insert? ive got a silver flat top date wheel here somewhere for an eta if you want it. just let me know come on nanuq....show us what we wanna see as the icing i want some non crown guard action thrown in. maybe rob can throw in his beauty too Edited October 4, 2007 by thewightstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Great vintage thread & awesome watches! No dates are so much easier. I need to get the Ubi date wheel installed on this one. I just noticed this one doesn't have the flat tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 By "no crown guards" do you mean this old heap of tin? ooooooooohhhhh, there she is. im in love, you dont have any needs for first borns do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You KNOW you're killing me with that 5514.

thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) i think something just went wrong in my downstairs area. doesnt that just make you love them even more, they are just so much finer than you can imagine. i got to try on a big crown once, its probably the highlight of my brief watch affair, that and being in a room to handle a scarily large amount of 3646 and 6152 rolex/panerais. ive been so tempted with that one listed up on the bay its not true but its come a few months too early for me. maybe after the turn of the year i will be able to add one and just sit at home all day in only my underwear and a non CG sub. who says i have small dreams Edited October 4, 2007 by thewightstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 "underwear", "topless", "big crown", etc. Yikes, there's now a distinct and uneasy undertone of homoerotic S&M going on here between you two At which point, I'll politely make my excuses and leave very quietly....and very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 haha, see what happens when you let date font fetishists out of their boxes for even a short while. dont feed the animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
