Finally!! Incoming

It's my first vintage rolex and I gotta say, I still feel queasy writing this as this is the biggest purchase I've ever made.

8k seems like a helluva lot of money. I feel I might have paid a bit of a premium for the peace of mind from buying from one of the most trusted dealers around.

I hope I will look back on this post and laugh many years down the line when the price of these things continue to sky rocket :).

Very nice. Price maybe a little high, but as you say, peace of mind and all that.

I have always believed that you should buy the absolute BEST example that you can possibly afford…And that example looks wonderful...

Really pristine examples are getting harder and harder to find and hold their value quite well...

Enjoy it and wear it in the very best of health...

Wonderful 1680.
I'm in love with these white 1680 and this seems to be a real great one!
Price is a little bit high, but nowadays quality and patina is all!

Enjoy

Will be worth way more than that in 10 years (or even 3 years...). Smart purchase - congrats!
