Singapore Rolex Club Vintage Rolex Appreciation/Poisoning Thread

[Alexlow]

True unpolished is rare to begin with and obviously gets more and more rare the older a watch is. IMO, an expertly polished watch that retains the original design lines (lug thickness, shape and of course the gorgeous bevels) enhances the beauty of vintage and does not detract from the overall value. Overpolished watches, unfortunately, are just sadly vulgar.

+1 well said.

@Bro Taxico
No worries, everyone is entitled to his own opinion and opinion differs all the time especially when it come to vintage and no one can say they are 100% sure.
I don't feel offended at all and rather I like talking to someone who know his "stuffs".
Thank you for posting your very nice double name daydate. The condition is amazing!
Hope to see more pictures from everyone.HAGWE!

vintage for old men ok
modern for young guys ok

I guess at 29 years old I'm considered 'old'.

That's a timeless piece there, and a manual wind too! I think 34mm's are the evergreen watch size.

i am a self-professed freak when it comes to a never polished watch.

i'm actually very glad you took the comment well - my purpose was not to irritate or put you down but for every 10 people admiring watches, there may be 1 or 2 that could well be learning to see what constitutes "unpolished" for purposes of buying a watch for themselves... and hopefully watches from a collector with an extensive range (should) constitute the best of what is available out there - but i know that this may not always be the case.

for one reason or other, i try not to post pictures of my watches online anymore. but for you, i'll make an exception and take a photo, upload and post.

Interesting co-signed dial, not seen one like that before.

No lah, everyday fish and pork, also need to eat veggie right. And I found that vintage retains value better than modern.

Congrats on the red again George, and classic root beer and pepsi!

I am not so sure how the new WG pepsi will change things but I suspect not much will in-fact change in the vintage world. 6542 >>> 116719 anytime, anywhere now and a hundred years from now.

[pegasi]

Some lovely pieces you have there, George.

The pepsi will be more precious now that it is only produced in WG
