Wow - I am jealous! I have several vintage Rolex models also, but yours is an amazing collection. I am getting more and more into the vintage watch collecting.

Thanks for sharing these great pictures.

All of these watches have been modded by various modders (RBJ, UBI and The Zigmeister)...the parts were not cheap...the time it took to build this collection was about 3 years.

Except for the elusive 6542, my favorite sport collection is nearly complete.

All the parts for the 6542 are sourceable (except the red/black datewheel for ETA). Surprising no member has made this one yet. The 1675 with pointed CG was much more challenging.
