Would love to see Rolexes that was passed down to you.

Sadly, that wasn't a family tradition for me, but I will be the one to start one!

My AD passed down way too many to list unfortunately.

I agree and that is why I purchased the YM2 gold 116688 which means that its in my era and says I got it and was not passed on to me. My wife has the super diamond gold masterpiece 80298 which is discontinued now and was one of the top women's Rolex when I purchased it in 2004.

Great thread!
I got this Sub 16800 from my dad. I will keep it forever.

Singular = was
Plural = were

Just being helpful (not criticizing), as I realize English is not your first language.

That makes two of us! :chuckle:

From my Brother

Me three! :chuckle:

But I did get my Dad's gold Seiko that was bought for him in Japan by my mother.

Great pics everyone!

Amazing photo!!

:cheers:

Very special! Do you still have the bracelet?

:thumbsup:

Yes, however it's a Jubilee and not an Oyster. I asked my Dad about it, and he said that at the time of purchase they gave him the option between the two. This is something I understand was allowed back then. He wore this watch for years, and it saw many dives in the Texas Gulf of Mexico as well as the Guamas Mexico area-

What a wonderful thread.

Stunning watch John.

That must be a very special watch.

Looks superb on leather.

This thread is wonderful! No one ever passed me a Rolex, but i am sure I will pass down a Rolex to my children!

Great thread! I was given an Omega that was my grandfather's, my dad's and now mine. No Rolex though.

No disrespect but has this been polished a lot?

And also. How's the gold bracelet? Do you fear it will fall off/apart soon?

The lug width looks OK imho but the satin brushed finish on the lugs is partly polished. This can easily happen when wearing loose by your shirt or coat. :cheers:

Thank you!!!

my father did not baby this watch, was his daily wear, and that is what I love about it...

Probably, polished a few times, my father used to send it for service every 6 to 8 years...
It's very Stretched, need to send it to Michael Young... but I like the leather, so no rush!!!
