Singapore Rolex Club Vintage Rolex Appreciation/Poisoning Thread

[Alexlow]

I sometimes regret selling my '74 Daydate and '78 datejust.
Not into buying vintages, but really love the character and story behind each.

I Still have regret selling this.

Thanks Alex. Lovely patina! So where are the rest of your vintage hiding???

I sold most of it last couple of months, but i'm lucky to find this with unpolished factory bevels.

I just came to HK to collect my Sub, which has undergone some customisation.
I reckon that by the time i am in my 60s, my Sub could be considered a "new" vintage?

Haha. Cheerios

Somewhat like old 911s.
As they say, "there are no old Porsches, only new owners"

There is another thread on vintages by our vintage king Maxbliss888 who never fails to impress me with his collection.

In fact i am in HK now and have been to quite a handful of shops admiring vintage Rolexes.
As it is, i refuse to be poisoned, but who knows.

Keep this thread alive.

Bro, swee swee Thunderbird, what it needs is a genuine croco strap with Rolex buckle to complete the classic look. Trust your 18038 is doing fine

You definitely know your watches. To be honest, I am afraid of buying from overseas because I am not particularly knowledgeable with watches, hence my fear of being scammed.

I would appreciate any tips/knowledge you can pass on to me tho, especially regarding the beautiful 1675 :P

Well, you can start with the established international dealers like Jacek/Scott from HQMilton, Ken Jacobs from Wannabuyawatch, Joshua Bonifas from Fourtane, Andrew Shear from Sheartime, Bruno Derval from Dream Collections, Gary Haftel from Exposing Time, VG/Paolo from I Signori Del Tempo, Maurizio/Thomas from Vintage Concept, Jed McCormack from Timetraveler, Elvio Piva from Tempus etc etc etc. Plenty. Alternatively, you can also use the website watchrecon.com to basically search across multiple watch forums and websites at the same time. It will come down to your comfort with buying internationally and always, always, do your due diligence before buying a watch.

This threads damn poisoning..im in the mist of looking for a nice 1675.

Classic 1680 you have, looks gorgeous on your wrist! And I know how a 1675 is the next desirable addition
