Am I the only one for "OLD" Modern Rolexes?
Hello All,
I love this forum. 1 thing I have noticed however - is that you guys all have really new watches! My 3 Rolex pieces (including the wifes) are either U or S serial number. All you guys have such new serial numbers? ARE THEIR MANY OTHERS HERE WITH 10 YEAR OLD WATCHES? Ladies 69173 - U Serial number ![]() Rolex Explorer II - U Serial number ![]() Rolex 16234 - S Serial number ![]() |

Check my sig. The GMTII was purchased new back at the turn of the century, but the DJ and DD were purchased as vintage.

1987 Acrylic DJ, 1989 Sapphire DJ, and a 1973 Oyster Perpetual. I was able to get the 1989 16220 for a decent price, maybe $500 cheaper than a year 2000 model, and it is the same for all intents and purposes. And I put a modern dial on it:
