Just a quick hello. I have been a sometimes lurker for a number of years. I have been on many other boards as well as RolexWatchTime. My name is Tommy Taylor and I live in Texas. We kind of speak English down here...LOL!
I wanted to list some watches that I am looking for papers for so I joined up.
I hope to spend a little more time around this forum in the future.
I like old and new. Mostly old...REALLY old...:-)
So cheers to everyone here on R-L-X!

I just finished restoring it. Apologies for the refinished dial....it was refinished when I got it and I just love the style so I had it done again to be mint.
I also am learning watchmaking. I work on these movements.
looks very interessting....!
never seen a rolex like that one...
Hi, welcome to RLX.

Welcome aboard Tommy! Lovely watches you have - love the GOLD!!!
Wow, I would like to have all of them..... :verneig:

:gut:
Wellcome to the forum! :dr:
Nice collection! :gut:
Welcome to R-L-X, Tommy! :dr:
Most of the folks on the other forums have seen most of these. I have quite a few other oldies like this that I will try and retrieve the pictures of to share. It's fun that there aren't so many bubbles and the like over here and that you all haven't really seen them. I think sometimes with the sports mode craze (and I certainly have my share and enjoy them too), that these pieces don't get the appreciation that they might. They are overshadowed by Subs and GMTs. I like all Rolex pretty much. I started with these old types back in around 1985. My father bought his new in 1949 and I still have it with the box tags papers etc. I'm in the middle of getting it put all back together and when I get it done I will post a little story. :-)
Best,
Tommy
One I restored for a friend.
1941 ref. 3065 Original dial and hands and beads of rice bracelet. A tiny little patch we had to do on the minute hand. Better than losing the rest of the lume.

Then here is one I bought for a godson of mine and restored.
1967 ref. 1501. I like these.

1938 complete set! I don't need the zertifikat for this one!
