You got me there, Russ!!

I don't have a long term plan or an exit strategy, I just enjoy collecting and appreciating these watches. I would like to think that my ownership (and the small reparations I make to them, where necessary) improves and prepares them for the future. Sadly, I don't get the feeling that Rolex shares our passion for their heritage, although it is something I am happy to promote.

Maybe I'll sell 'em all, buy a rocket-ship, and head for the stars...!

Mike - it is a true learning experience to see and discuss your rare pieces - thank you for sharing

Mike, a fantastic representation of a bygone era. Now days your lucky to be issued a G-shock for diving.

I remember when I did my mil dive course, 1987. There were issued Citizen dive watches available, I had a my own trusty Seiko(not in the same league but did the job).

Do you have the diver log books for any of your watches? Cheers Jules.
