Thought it was about time I said 'hello' after lurking around for a while!

I'm Richard - an Englishman now living in Sydney - and am addicted to 60s/70s sports Rolexes

Some of you may know me from vintagerolexforum, where occasionally I chip in with the odd comment, post some happy-snaps, and buy and sell a bit too

I've got a self-imposed 'Three Watch Rule', and being a child from 1970 I've restricted myself to watches 'born' in that year. So in chronological order can I introduce you to:

1970 (2.9m serial - I-70 caseback) 1680 Red Submariner:

And now for the 'black sheep' of the family! I've always wanted a 1970 DRSD, but when this was offered to me, it was just too good to refuse

1977 (5.0m serial) 1665 Double Red Sea Dweller

But I'm very happy with my little collection:

Does it count as breaking my 'Three Watch Rule' if I buy a modern Rolex?? The new ceramic s/s GMT is stunning and is calling to me like a siren song... and if the rumours hold any truth, a new Sea Dweller with domed crystal and ceramic bezel will star at Basel. Now THAT'S worth breaking the rules for!

See you around guys

Cheers

Richard
