Can I see some Rolex "Safe Queens"?

I really appreciate good art work and have been lucky to have found and purchased a few outstanding pieces. I can also appreciate a Rolex, an untouched example, in pristine condition, simply for its artist qualities.

These mechanical wonders to me, are the same, beauty to the beholder!

Can anyone share their Rolex art?

If you're not of the same opinion and only prefer only a well worn piece, that's cool too. But for save that for another thread, OK?

I think you would have better luck in the vintage sub-forum.

Most people in general buy to wear, while many in the vintage forum buy to collect.

I like the OP’s question - there is beauty in a well-kept safe queen.

But please allow me a word of caution.

If you are showing a large collection, make sure your pics’ EXIF data has been scrubbed/sanitized/edited to remove any location data...just saying stay safe out there...

Except for the few Hockey Pucks above that just couldn't resist , thanks you guys, for those virgin shots!!! That's exactly what I was hoping to see!

I could easily join this group and just admire them, for their beauty!

Just gorgeous!

For an iPhone use an app. Many to choose from.

Here’s one as an example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/viewexif/id945320815

Or use TapaTalk hosting
