If I recall well, it reminds me the Breguet diver which was part of the collection of Julien Dray (no kidding).

Vintage Rolex GTG - "Issued in London"
By: Baron - Mr Red : March 31st, 2014-02:06
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. The same is true with GTGs. This weekend, I attended one of those more unusual GTGs. When the most common watch in the room is a Rolex Milsub, it suggests a somewhat unusual GTG. Travelli...
Incredible!

It's indeed astonishing in so many ways. I'm at a loss for words. But I don't think many are needed. So I'll leave it at that. If I were a modern Rolex, from the current collection, I wonder which one I would want to be if I were to be on this boat. Any s...
I think I can only see one possible.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : March 31st, 2014-02:14
....the brand new Sea-Dweller....just because there were so many SDs on the boat, it would have been "interesting" to have that comparison. But yes.... a great question to ask.
I was thinking the same thing...

The new Sea Dweller, but only partially because of its novelty, and mostly because of its unique history. I think the most recent past Sea Dweller would also garner some respect among this group of collectors. What would a group like this wish Rolex to de...
Chris...two things...

Thank you for coming along to join us and making the event so enjoyable! As you say, egos are left at the door, and it's just great to share watches and meet friends old and new! MW :-)
Thanks Mike....

.....like I said before, the River trip was inspired and allowed for a truly relaxing opportunity to view all the watches. It was great to be invited and be part of such an occasion. Joe

A GTG aboard a ship cruising the Thames River sounds like...
By: Subexplorer : March 31st, 2014-05:57
... a dream to me. Gathering such an array of magnificent timepieces on board... I would bet it is an impossible task to do. Joining two Gold Omanis "brothers" after 40 years of their "separation", well ... that simply can´t be done! Well, I have to admit...
Great shots Joe!!!

It was breathtaking...
By: Baron - Mr Red : March 31st, 2014-07:55

Superb!
By: Le Monde Edmond : March 31st, 2014-07:59
Some great and rare watches on display. Wow. It sure will make a few people dream of vintage rolex some more. My favorites were the 5508 orange dial and the JLC Deep sea along with the 6200. Thank you for the report and great pictures. Best E
Superb color
By: Le Monde Edmond : March 31st, 2014-08:08
I have seen a few rolex with this orange color but that intense is very rare. I would have loved to see it in real. Thanks for posting. E
