State of my Rolex Collection 2008>>>>>>>

The only one in the collection not pictured below is my wife's DJ which rarely comes off her wrist. :T

Sorry for the lousy pic but I stink at group watch photos:

All bases covered - very nice :gut:

What I like best is that you were them all in rotation - there´s not a single watch that you don´t show off in the wristshot-thread every other time =)

Keep on enjoying and take care-

Nice collection, John!

My favorite is the red sub, and I think I have to get the one I lost replaced soon, the prices are coming my way at the moment, that may be my opportunity... :)

My first guess is that you'd take any of the non-TT watches...scratch off the DJ and the 16613 Sub, and you'd take the rest? :grb:

Red Subs from 1967?

John,

are you aware if any red subs were sold in 1967 with certificates stamped in 67? I assume they would have Mark II dials, right? Meters first, then feet, open sixes?

Let me encourage you to ask that question of Ed Delgado or Maverick on the WATCH TALK FORUMS Vintage Rolex Forum - they has far more vintage expertise than I.

:rolleyes: Next time take my advice. You got all of 2 responses on vrf. You would have done much better on my site.

I thought you meant the vrf, and I just now realize that in your links there is a watch talk forum. I never saw that before, so I am going to post there as well.
