Snapped a quick and dirty phone shot of my three Rolex watches last night. The coolest part is that there are three generations of Rolex watches sitting there. Left to right: My Father's 1960's oyster perpetual, my Sub C and my Grandfather's 1964 1675 GMT. My Grandfather has passed and my Dad doesn't wear a watch anymore so all three are mine. Pretty cool seeing all three together and knowing the history behind them. I need to get my Dad's watch serviced at some point and take better pictures of the trio. Just thought I'd share. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Sub-c's are so beautiful. Everything about them is perfect, I love looking at the engineering and craftmanship in the clasp, bracelet, hinges, etc.

Three generations,

I envy you, my father and grandfather where not into real watches.

Nice family history to pass on.
