My AD often lets me sift through his private collection safe and try on rare pieces that he is collecting for a Rolex/Tudor “museum corner” that he is planning to set up when they move to their new location.

I tried on a few Tudor Prince Oyster Submariners (even a blue one that the BB58 Blueberry is based on) but this was my favorite.

That sounds like a great relationship with your AD. Folks on this bowl have a lot to learn from you how to build it 😊

Honestly, I usually email him when I’d like an opinion on a watch or something in horology. I always check in when the brands release new models to ask him how they wear on the wrist.

The DRSD is the best diving watch Rolex has ever made.

Everyone always focuses on Subs but I think the Sea Dweller delivers a similarly versatile aesthetic, and the thing is built like a tank. Love this double red example, and the hour markers/hands have a lovely patina.

Thanks for sharing!

Agree! The domed crystal was something else and even though the watch itself weighed quite light (maybe due to the folded links plus the large gaps between them) it still felt nigh indestructible.

Edit: the links maybe have been hollow not folded. I tried on a bunch of vintage Tudor subs and I may be mixing things up there

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
