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 have no safe queens in my collection. Sorry.

+3. Perfection from imperfection.

I'm not sorry though.

Spoonage · 2 March 2020, 01:16 AM

Same as above. I wear mine.

ferrissteve11 · 2 March 2020, 01:16 AM

I have mine to wear....otherwise what's the point?

jvb.nc · 2 March 2020, 01:17 AM

what’s a safe queen?

Claven2 · 2 March 2020, 01:19 AM

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.

Very nice.

Out of curiosity what keeps you from wearing it?

Chadridv · 2 March 2020, 01:40 AM

Never, worn once or sized in about 20 years...

The Bahrain TT DJ has never been used (the others have)...

Also Never worn or sized...

Bryant Park · 2 March 2020, 01:44 AM

I can't recall model but pristine...

FTX I · 2 March 2020, 01:48 AM

Fantastic. I love NOS watches. Thanks for sharing guys.

77T · 2 March 2020, 02:00 AM

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...

DonRickles · 2 March 2020, 02:06 AM

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!

No safe queens but I certainly try hard and have wrist awareness so I don’t beat my watches too badly! My DSSD is 5 years old and I wear it a lot...

This is a cool thread. Thanks for starting it. As much as I don’t like the idea of a safe queen myself, it’s a real concept in the Rolex collector world and seeing what people are squirreling away is cool.

Keep 'me coming guys, this is a cool thread.

Sadly, I’ve got nothing to add. All my watches get worn regularly

rtalk · 2 March 2020, 03:00 AM

It can be difficult not to have safe queens once you own enough watches.

Pantheon · 2 March 2020, 03:16 AM

I can fathom safe queens since I like every one that I buy and its hard NOT to wear them

Jona · 2 March 2020, 03:45 AM

Can someone post some good artwork that has never been looked at?

Can you please explain how to do this? Can you do it on an iPhone?

jrs146 · 2 March 2020, 05:03 AM

I have watches in the safe. But they’re no queens. They all get wrist time. Some more than others. But time they all do get.

VegasMilgauss · 2 March 2020, 05:10 AM

Beautiful watches - I hope you guys wind them every now and then?

Great thread. Clearly a few missed your last sentence though
