Rolex - watch of the week!
A lot of watches get posted on this forum in the course of a week. Each Friday, I will aim to post my favourite from the previous week. Forgive me my biases and value-judgments, but here's what I think from the past week. I loved Blomman's review of the C...
Could not agree more
Bill - congratulations. Your watch is a dream. Well deserved! Joe does not mean you are warming up to GMTs more and more?
Think of it like this, Edmond....
....I love my wife, but that does not mean i am unable to appreciate the beauty of another woman. My first Rolex was a GMT. I own 2 or 3. But my central focus on Rolex will not be GMT as it doesn't give me that frisson that i get from the divers.
Of course....
....if i had started the theme a week ago, I would have given it to the 6350..... ....again, not indicative of a move into Explorers!!
Such an honor and it such good company of contenders
I need to get some better shots but the unpolished case perfect dial accented buy the details you noted it is a very nice package. Thank you for the honor. Bill
Sorry, a bit late.. But if not too late.. Deep +1 for that superb GMT !..Has it all!
.. This ode of deep blue/black insert, with the golden indices, Obviously - also as we know Bill ! - in a splendid condition !! Couldn't agree more for that choice ! Well, this week will soon be over, ;) - but nevertheless.. A splendid shot & watch ! Best...
That's a really beautiful...
GMT, Bill... Well deserve place in being watch of the week ! Bill, please let me (us) have the benefit of your knowledge of this piece please :)
I am here to share all

We want the Full Monthy, Bill! :)))
More seriously, I think many here would like to read more about the Blue insert... Best, Amigo. Nicolas
Thanks Bill..
Kind of you to offer... That would have saved me loads of time doing homework LOL First salvo... What period was the blue colored insert spotted on the GMT Master? Second shot... was it spotted only on specific MK? (like MK 1, 2 ?) Thirdly, is it very rar...
From the facts i have learned.
First this is vintage Rolex facts mmmm opinions mmmm. Anyhow, it seems that the all blue inserts ate associated with special orders made by Rolex for "military" more as gifts than battle hardened use. They made special batches for what appears to related ...
Key to understanding the blue insert
We are basing our assumption on the fact that we assume that the example that circulated at Christies auction, not to long ago, with blue inset and UAE crest dial was in fact produced by Rolex. I don't have supporting docs but there have been a few exmple...
Many thanks for that Bill..
Really appreciate the short but very informative write up on the Blueberry insert :) Hope I didn't put you on a spot since you are treading on thin lines with this rare piece of Rolex's history. Yes, with vintage Rolex, there is always "the-other-view" th...
Only thing comes to mind
The blueberry insert watches are very nice looking, highly sought after by collectors and as such very expensive. But please be careful as always where there is money to be made non authentic pieces rear their ugly head. Best
Yes Sir...
No doubt about the fakes flooding the market, especially when it is this rare and highly sought after, thereby commanding a high premium. Wear them in good health pal :) thanks again for the short write up. SBK
