There are none I covet as I never know until I see them in the flesh, if they bite (and the price is right) then I buy them and they become some my favourites among many. For now, I would say my favourite 5 Rolex's are the Tudor blue dial 9411/0 date snowflake sub (first ever Rolex), then my 1962 5512 PCG (avatar) then my 1914 Rolex trench watch, then my 1985 matt dial transitional 16750 GMT and finally a couple of weeks ago, the 1973 1016 Explorer, all honking watches that I wear often

Vanquish1551 · 24 January 2014, 04:28 PM

Great lists.

-Tudor Monte Carlo
-Explorer II Orange hand
-Daytona Paul Newman 18K
-Tudor Mil Sub
-1930s Prince

Is Gilt code for 18K Gold or a color change effect? Sorry, I'm a newbie in search of a lexicon dictionary...

GILT is gold lettering on the dial.

Rolex-wise:

1. 5517 MilSub W-10 SAS Issue
2. 1665 Comex SD
3. 5512 Explorer Dial Submariner
4. 6062 Triple Date Moonphase
5. 6036 Jean-Claude Killy

It'll probably have changed by tomorrow...

jedly1 · 21 August 2014, 02:28 PM

mil watch - so probably 5517 until a mil sea dweller comes along
divers watch - comex mission watch
chrono - probably an RCO 6263
big crown - condition dependent but probably 6200
quirky .6541 just in case i gets job in a research facility.

Karbo · 21 August 2014, 03:29 PM

1675 pepsi
5513 bart simpson

mike

you will not be happy until u have 2 or 3 ofd each of these.

PoderEsBueno · 21 August 2014, 10:48 PM

Nice topic

Got me thinking

1680 Maxi MK1 (White)
5513 Maxi MK1
1675 Maxi MK4
5513/12 (metersfirst,feetfirst) Got to have late 60's wide chamfers

1680 RED

stmoore · 22 August 2014, 12:30 AM

This is my favorite list, I think. The reason is that while it's "ultimate" it's also attainable. That said that list below could hit $50,000.

I'd love to have a DRSD, but I am not sure I'd want to pay to own a proper example... or sell elements of my current collection.

lsavoldi · 22 August 2014, 12:43 AM

From my collection, my current favourites are:
1680 Red
1675 Gilt
5513 gilt
Daytona zenith
Movado-Zenith Datron El Primero

vcnyls · 22 August 2014, 01:19 AM

So, I'll start with photos. My ultimate 5 watch vintage Rolex collection would ideally all be from or around my birth year, 1979:

1675 (mine already):

6263:

1655 Steve Mcqueen:

1675 Two Tone:

6265 gold:

now that's a fab five - would be interesting to see what that lot would cost you at today's market - my guess $4-500K without the PN Daytona and then depends on which exotic dial Daytona. Just a guess, I could be way out

Vincent65 · 22 August 2014, 09:20 PM

In a world of fantasy, I'd like a full-spec MilSub, and a Big Crown would be sweet. In reality, maybe add a DR or GW 1665 - or a matte 666 - to the few I already have, possibly a nice 1655, but am honestly quite happy with my little lot, and don't find myself wanting other watches too much. I enjoy seeing others, but I don't need to own them.

If you could choose 5 watches as part of your ultimate vintage rolex collection, what would they be and (if possible) why?

here you are :
-- 5513 SAF desert sub ( aka " black sub " )
-- UK milsub fullspecs
-- 16660 for Comex Hydra V mission
-- 5513 explorer dial military delivery ( no matter if RAN or RN .. after all I'm a modest man .. LOL LOL LOL )
-- 16660 for CNEXO
chronographs ??? nein Danke !!

lenversducadran · 22 August 2014, 09:54 PM
