Mickey's first Rolex...

In his 50+ decades of sometimes collecting, but mostly buying, selling and now trading, Mickey never owned a Rolex. Along the way he collected, bought, sold and now mostly trading various models of "Bastard Brands", that is if you consider Patek, Vacheron and Lange "Bastard Brands.

With the help from his friends Mickey found a vintage Rolex Sub that he fell in love with. Mickey's now wearing an all original 16800 with beautiful patina matte plots and sweeps.

Many thanx to John and Johnny, both enablers like the rest of us :)

Do you like Mickey's new watch as much as he does? Regardless I love it. Miki

I think you meant to say "50 + years" of collecting and not 50 decades. Glad you found the watch that sings to you!!!
