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

My oldest Rolex is 1971.

My oldest Rolex Tudor is 1948.

Mum gave it to me when I was born.

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

Singslinger · 14 March 2010, 08:06 PM

My oldest Rolex is a 1987 GMT II, ref 16760, with a serial number that starts with a "9''. I also have a "K" series S/S YM.

PS Very nice pix - thanks!

My GMT II is from 1986 here.

I like older stuff in general though.

HL65 · 14 March 2010, 10:20 PM

Love the classic look--the Exp ll is really growing on me!! Nice!

RolexPete · 14 March 2010, 10:24 PM

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:

dweller · 14 March 2010, 10:30 PM

I have an A 16570 and Z 14060M

mike · 14 March 2010, 10:35 PM
