A few old friends / vintage watches, :)

Happy Friday fellow vintage Rolex enthusiasts. Been a while since I've posted a picture (outside of 'For Sale' listings) so thought I'd share a picture I took of a few of my faves in the collection:

1675 Mk2
1680 Mk1
1016

Beautiful vintage collection. Personally more of a vintage guy and think of trading them all in and buying vintage, but just can’t for personal stuff.

100%. Insert is original to the watch...it's cool to see other Mk2s on TRF and Instagram that have the exact same fade/patina on the inserts.

The only 3 vintage Rolex watches you'll ever need - also completes the sea, land and air trilogy, so to speak.
