Don't shoot till you see the white of their hands. LOL The Rolex BC in the 6538 and 5510 in the 57 – 59 range enjoy these great big white lollipops seconds hand. They are a very distinct look. It was not a standard issue and as with Rolex no particular in...
The 6610: Without forgetting the infamous Tudor 7924, even if the big Lollipop is golden, not white. And, to correct a bit what I said about the 6542, the white lollipop is small. like on your 6536. I'm a big fan, Bill! Well done, my friend! Best, ...
Rolex must have been trying out new materials or trying to distinguish materials using the white hands on various sports models. It seems the 1030 movement seems to be common as I think was in the 6610. Bill PS You have the eye of an eagle.
The exclamation dot, the underline... Well, it is not clear at all. It seems that the " ! " had such a purpose, it is less sure that the underline had such a signification, and, to say all, I am not sure the white lollipop has such a meaning. As for an ex...
Agreed the 6610 is underrated. It shares aspects of the no crown guard that give it a special place. A gilt chapter ring 6610 is a sight to behold. The challenge is the size. Which is really the only thing holding it back. It is the biggest of the explore...
Which is reasonable ( 36 mm case ) should not be a con if you consider it. Small, it is, but terrificly elegant and seducing. Give it a chance, you will adopt it. Best, Nicolas.
Thanks for the education guys! History was never my favorite subject but these vintage pieces require an 'eagle eye" and detailed information to fully appreciate their beauty. F
For completeness I searched high and low for a 6542 with a white seconds hand. I found this picture which belongs to A great Rolex compatriot. I hope he is ok that we share the one picture. Photo Credit – Jacek.k...
I decided to hunt another one, I love these Pussy Galore so much that I want another one, maybe two others. One will have this white Lollipop. Funny that you posted this topic, as I developped quite an obsession, lately, on these white lollipops, but, str...
Did the hunt every finish with you my friend. It was we live for the next conquest the next adventure. Passion… Lunacy it is all shades of the same vice…
One 1675 Underline, a Military GMT, a Red Arrow, and a transitional GMT, I hope that with all of them, the hunt on the GMT will be over... I wish! Best, Nicolas
You are absolutely correct. The cache of the white seconds hand give the watch just that little extra umfff that makes your smile just that little bit wider. Don't get me wrong a lollipop is a lollipop but when it is white well … fill in the blanks. Rare,...
Hi,I have a chance to buy an original Lollipop hand for my 6538. But my 6538 has a service dial from the 60`with matching hands. Any issue in combining them? How much would you pay for the Lolli second hand?
Congrats on your 6538. As for the price the is a seller's market it could be a few hundred to many hundreds. You must be sure it is genuine as some sell replica hands but usually state "replacement" and cost less than 100. As for the appropriateness and p...
