Anyone into watches?

I’m pretty sure it’s an early 5500. Which would be a 1520 or 1530 movement.

 

Got my hands for the cal 1030 from Switzerland. They are smaller. Not sure if they will work I can’t look at them anymore.

 

Atleast they are OEM Rolex. The pallet fork is the smallest thing I have ever seen!

 

Before:

 

After:

 

Ice Ice baby!

 

1.2 ct Earth mined Diamonds! From New York! Everyone wants like $1200 for them Atleast. I got this one half price!

 

The box was $30!

 

Well, it stopped working twice. Prob has not been serviced in twenty years.

 

It’s just so intriguing how it winds itself off movement. Maybe they should do the same mechanism for self charging vehicles?

 

Stallone wore a watch during the filming of the new Expendables. He didn’t take it off wore it the whole time during production/filming. It’s a red banded Rolex Panerai!

 

I dropped the “Bullseye” off today. Got a real good quote on the pallet fork install and my Swiss hands from the 50’s will work. It has a post for the second hand Im missing so I was not sure it would fit. 3 weeks.

 

Then I have to get the Air King serviced. I found mint OEM 70’s hands.

 

My Chilean connection has this for sale?

 

Have you guys seen the quality fake Rolex watches on “Wish”?

 

My Chilean friend has this. It’s a 5513 from 1965. It’s a “Gilt” which means the letters were done inverse. The dial was chemically painted black. And the letters were masked to show the gold color of the base dial. Then lacquer. This was done up to 1966.

 

Well, I offered him $5k. Not like I have any money but testing the waters. Might have to sell the KX. There’s one for sale like it for $25k-$75k so he has not responded.

 

Anyone need a kidney? Cheap?

 

I got shot down. Just the bezel is going for $3k. Which is a very good price.

 

Here’s a pic of the movement.

 

And the case back dated 65’.

 

He wants $10k, no bezel, no bracelet! I can get a newer two-tone 18k Sub for that. He says he has been sitting on it for awhile and will keep it until the prices hit $35k again. I says everyone wants Apple Watches now.

 

A guy is giving him $11k in “Cripto”. What the hell is “Cripto”?

 

I just had blood taking from my hand. Note the bruise.

 

They even have the exact “Swiss” clone movements!https://www.swissreplica.is/product-category/rolex/

 

Beautiful watches. I always wanted to collect or have a good watch. Had a really nice Seiko kinetic, but nothing like these.

Of course now i have the extra cash but smart watches have been my go to for me now. Had a Samsung 42mm but now i went big bucks (Relatively) and went with a Garmin Epix. I do some overlanding and hiking so it's a beast for that, it's also improved my health awareness. Battery life is incredible, but no kinetic... Darn thing even has a built in flashlight. lol

 

This watch reinforces that a simple design will stand out as much as a complicated one.

 

I just paid $32,000.00 for this Rolex!

 

And I will sell it for $150.00 + shipping?
