Hi. The blue one is a Tudor 76100 submariner. Tudor are made by Rolex but usually have an ETA movement. This particular watch is actually a 1986 case number with ETA movement 2824-2. The caseback is correctly stamped inside with 76100. It's a gorgeous watch with Tritium plots, blue dial and incredible faded blue/grey bezel. These are very hard to find and even harder in this kind of shape. It comes with the later 78360 bracelet with Tudor locking dive clasp. Another incredible feature of the watch is the top hat plexi, an almost identical watch to the 1680 Rolex bar the dial colour and the fact it has the ETA movement, in fact mine even has a rolex crown which is quite common on Tudors of this vintage.

There is some debate as to whether the hands on this one have been changed at service many years ago. If they have it's nothing which has been done recently and the previous owner was adamant they had not been changed. I believe a few transitional examples were sold with the mercedes hands but it's very difficult to authenticate via Tudor records so as far as we know this one is all original.

Hope that helps.

The other is the full gold Daytona with black mother of pearl diamond and gold crystal dial running at about -1s per day. I ordered this at my local AD after seeing the dial on a TT while on holiday. I was told by the AD that the gold crystal is actually 24ct gold that has been grown onto the dial the same way that you grow crystals in a lab. The black MOP looks stormy/creamy brown most of the time but it has shades of green and purple when the light hits the right angle.

They compliment each other very well, the perfect pair

Very, very nice Dan!

I've wanted a Rolex for over twenty years. For my 40th birthday I bought this for myself. I can honestly say I absolutely love wearing this every day. I took this picture at a stop light and the sun hit it just right.

My one and only Daytona..

DCheeta · 25 June 2013, 05:13 PM

I love your Hulk! It's a beauty.

Here's my first Rolex, a 14060 Submariner no-date. It's a T serial number, which I believe puts its production year around 1996. I bought it for myself when I turned 26. I'm almost 40 now, and this is still very special to me even though my watch collection has grown since then. I've always loved the clean look of this particular vintage of 14060 - only two lines of type at the bottom of the dial as opposed to the newer dials with four - and it still has tritium as the luminous material, which would very soon thereafter change to luminova.
