Thanks guy, is dated 1949 ref 1579. Was lucky to find one with a full history - unfortunately my long time collected vintage Rolex collection is going to start being sold off as I have completely fallen in love with vintage patek's! (Collector I bought this off of was cruel enough to let me try his RG(or pink gold if that's what you like to call it) 2499!

Those are some amazing rolex you have listed, hope you plan on keeping 1 or 2, they certainly fit in any collection

Thanks, each time I was naive enough to convince my wife that that watch would be the watch I was going to be buried in....

I will definitely keep 1 or 2 depending on whether I can find a 2499 for auction any time soon.

Cheers,
