But it ticks....

New Addition:


Rolex 17013.

I typically do not buy these OQ (Oyster Quartz) watches but this had box and papers! This watch also has never been polished and looks to have been worn a handful of time.

Rolex 6518 on 78350...

Drool...

I love this...

Unfortunately this bracelet is for my Girlfriend's ref. 1500 (Rolex Date).

So, I think a  19mm rivet would fit the bill.

One of the rarest Rolex watches...

Ref: 6518 with text "Rite Time".
It's interesting to think that despite this beautiful piece being one of Rolex's rarest oysters, it is known only by Collector's.

A few interesting attributes of this particular 6518.

1. Tropic Dial (What was once a black honeycomb dial has become a beautiful peacock sunburst dial)
2. Under the hood Cal. 1000 (Most of these 6518s have caliber 1030 *1035 (5 denotes date aperature) The caliber 1000 automatic was also used in the Deep Sea Special!
