1/ my First:
.. actually, my first Rolex, was bought from my second salary, many years ago,
and I still have her ;
- she is my first really (very) good watch, and my "life Rolex" : she has been in many countries,
on several continents, from hot sun to icy temperatures, when skiing ; she's been in many airplanes,
on boats when sailing or bigger, when travelling..
She was there, long before I started " collecting", or let's better say, getting more & more interested,
in a somewhat bigger spectrum, in Rolex but mainly in other brands, namely JLC..
But she is still there, trustworthy, on time, never failed, my simple Rolex Date, from 1976.
2/ my last :
Was just few weeks ago: I had been on the search for a nice, authentic Explorer, preferably gilt,
and it had already taken me almost 2 years ( seen many, missed several, could'nt convince
an owner, or being not convinced, myself as well );
- And then, out of the blue, thanks to a very good friend ( J.. You definitely know him !),
and a lucky constellation, an absolute fine sample was located, another friend nodded to such
quality. Thus, only shortly back I was able to find " My Explorer", 6610, gilt, CR, (1956) with also
a nice riveted bracelet...
I have been wearing her quite a bit, really loving that piece a lot and being very grateful to some friends,
( you know, who you are !) , who had been so supportive and with kind advice !!
Find below, two little Collages of these two : my First and my Last ( but I rather would call her, my most recent),
as she definitely will not be my last Rolex, as I've been sort of warmed up, meanwhile !
