Thanks - not really except it was put away for a month or so but I doubt that changed it. It just depends on the light, I suppose.

^^^ That's true. My crappy cell phone pics don't come close to showing my reds real color. Looking forward to getting a better camera soon.

Can we just add "Sub/GMT" to the thread title so I'm not tempted to look at the same two watches over and over again? ;)

While it's obvious that subs and gmts are very popular, there are also plenty of other references on this thread, and no-one's forcing you to look here 'over and over again' either. Do you have something different to show us, then?! ;)

Nope. Was hoping to find inspiration on this thread. Sadly, I'm not hunting for a vintage Sub or GMT, although I am considering a 1665 Great White Sea Dweller. A 1016 and 1630 (DJ in an OysterQuartz case) are also under consideration.
Sorry if my observation seemed rude. I just get bored looking at 3-4 pics of the same watch on a different strap before I see one picture of something else. I'll go play somewhere else...

Thanks Bro - you know, maybe it did (Kevin said the same thing). I just put it away for a month while I was away, though. It was much darker when I bought it. Yours looks ace!

If you can't wade through all the boring subs and gmts and find inspiration on this thread, there's not much hope for you anywhere! I do see your point about the repetition, but we are passionate about vintage Rolex, and some of us only have one or two, or a few, so we enjoy them more by strap changes and accessorising. I know several of us just enjoy the picture-taking element as well, so please excuse our ' gratuitous "every day is vintage day" ' indulgence. There are plenty of 1665s here as well, and many other references, but you do have to trawl through the mire of run-of-the-mill stuff, sorry. Good luck finding what you like

How about vintage group shots ?

What's there ?
1967, 1675 GMT Master
1984, 16800 Submariner
1974, Bucherer Chrono (Lemania 1340)
1969, Tissot T12 Chonograph (Lemania 861)
1969, Tissot T12 24h world time ETA based
1975, Precimax chronograph Valjoux7733
1978?, Tevomatic IDF diver watch ETA2784
1968, Watex automatic















As much as I love modern contemporary watches, nothing beats a faded, well cared for tritium lumed watch... Period !
