Your best 2015 pick up
Another year has come and gone! I was extremely fortunate to have some fantastic luck this year and some incredible pieces come into my life.
Let's see your favorite 2015 pick up.......

Here's mine......A 5.3 million 5513, with a mk1 maxi dial. I had been trying to separate the previous owner from this watch for a long time and in 2015 it entered my stable.

A happy and healthy new year to you all

Not quite a vintage/4 digit ref. but this very exceptional 16520 made its way into my collection back in October. To say I am thrilled is an understatement!

Just two pick ups for 2015 - a very clean mid 80s GMTmaster 16750 that my friend AD came upon unexpectedly, and a 114060 SubC that I finally succumbed to. As for 2016........?

My best watch purchase for the year...that is a tough one . . . but, I would have to say, it would be my 1988 Submariner 16808. It's a great watch and complete set, which is how I prefer them these days. My favorite " pick up" for the year had to be my 2015 Shelby GT 350, What a car . . . and only 1 of 100!!!

Happy New Year to all my friends and TRF members who frequent the Vintage section here on the forum. Have a great year everyone!

I picked up a total of 7 Vintage Rolex this year as I repositioned my collection.
The 1675 and 5512 pictured are by far my two favorites. I paid about the same for each one and got them from two of our very finest "trusted sellers" on the Forum. It's a complete toss up for me on my absolute favorite between these two gems that are not likely to ever be sold.
Happy New Year to all...
