Two vintage references in a week? Me think so... Incoming
Hello vintage rolex folks.
As Joe (RolexJNJ) noted, it seems I've caught the vintage bug and have now picked up a second vintage reference  . Very much enjoying this side of the hobby after having been a "modern watch" guy for the past several years. I still enjoy the modern references of course, but I think what's really got me hooked is how unique each vintage watch really is; no 2 alike. Thought you folks might appreciate this 1680 full set I picked up on my latest vintage watch exploration so sharing here. Thanks for all the great contributions/posts on this part of the forum. Best.  The set! IMG_1802.jpg Looks good to me. Some lume has come off the marker at the 1.... unfortunate, but hoping it won't be too much of a distraction. FullSizeRender.jpg To work today... IMG_1801.jpg The cool stuff... FullSizeRender (1).jpg $625!!! I paid a little more for it now as the second owner...  FullSizeRender (2).jpg
