Hi, I have an old Rolex Oyster Precision with a design code of what looks like 6426, without removal of the leather strap. It is a ladies model, with serial number between the lugs starting with 166. This dates it to a 1960's model to me, later than the one I have, well, to my inexperienced eyes anyway. Could your post about the way parts are sometimes used in different models possibly explain it? Thanks for your valued opinion ![]() |

I just acquired a gold 6265/7 with a non Rolex gold bracelet. Did they come with a leather band and if so where can I buy one (Rolex)
Thanks for all the great information. Wolf |

Air King 5500
I have just purchased a vintage Air King 5500 serial no 987***. Can any one tell me when the 5500 model came into production as there is discrepancy as to the dating of the watch. i have been informed this could either be 1954 or 1963. i would appreciate any information. it has a 1530 movement and i am concerned it might be cobbled together

I recently bought something on a Web site, the service is also good.I've been getting a lot of questions lately about my www.csgo4skin.com inventory so I'm throwing this post together. See, I have an inventory valued at roughly $846.77. People often ask how much I spent for my skins. The answer is nothing. I've never spent money on CS:GO other than for the game itself. Everything I have, I got through playing the market and betting on pro matches. Now, I'm going to tell you the exact methods I used to get my inventory. By the end of this post, you'll know everything you need to start making a profit in CSGO.

I am planning to start buying vintage watches but there are some questions from the expert here
1. Vintage? As long as not in production can you call them vintage? 2. Which type you recommend for beginner? Submariner or GMT? Thx you very much and much appreciated |

Hello,
I've been registered on this site for the best part of 4.7 years but haven't posted much at all. My question to Philipp is this: Some of us collectors prefer to purchase vintage watches that have been professionally restored (not by the manufacturer, but by a suitably qualified watch smith). From a personal perspective, I don't like wearing watches that look like they've been in a nuclear war, but understand that connoisseurs prefer that vintage watches look their stated age. It's an age-old conundrum, but I'd rather stick with my refurbed preference at this juncture in my life. Happy for comments to be raised, contra or pro. Russ. |

Agreed... My watches aren't for sale and never will be. They are for me to wear, show off, and enjoy. I don't care if the value is reduced by cleaning them up and making them shine and stand out. Most people can't afford a watch costing several thousands of dollars. They certainly won't know I have reduced the value of my Rolexs because they shine too much or look near perfect. If they don't like them.... turn away, look elsewhere, or go buy your own and treat it as you please. I wear my watches everyday. Not for special occasions. If I owned the first Rolex ever made.... it would be cleaned, polished, and worn daily. Not hidden in a safe and stared at. To each their own..... I'm just thankful I'm blessed to have what I have and wish everyone else the same.
