This  Rolex 6092 in 18 k gold with black face , was purchased new in HongKong in 1951 by our family. The original box , test certificate , receipt , the original watch band and even the 'gold smith' price tag is attached. The watch is now with my son in Australia. h.chang

Beautiful...  :thumbsup: :Cheers:
How ignorant have I been for not even searching for the BEAUTIFUL OLDIES...Being a OLD MAN Myself :Laughing_on_floor:
Think I will get a few BEAUTIFUL OLDIES if the condition and price is right. Any idea where to hunt for these BEAUTIES..

Hi Jimmy,
I bought those oldies 19 years ago in Australia.
I am not familiar with the local traders. Regards. H. Chang

The doctor's watch was 1937 , not 1934. ( I sold the 1934 Prince many years ago. ) My apology.

Just a question the H Chang. Where do you go to when they need to be serviced? Do you get them sent over to Oz?
Title: Re: My Old Rolex Collection
Post by: h.chang on April 22, 2014, 07:32:06 PM
Serviced in Oz , High Street, Armadale , Melbourne.

Stunning collection .. and the slogan  "you never actually own Rolex 6092, you merely look after it for the next generation.." should go to this nice piece too ..  =)

Nice collections. Thank you for sharing.
My dad offered me my grand dad's old Rolex once (Tht was 10 yrs ago)
I didn't want it bcoz it needed winding regularly to keep it running.
How foolish of me ... :o
Regreting it until now.  :Blue:

Nice collections you have there. Looks like dated back to 1930s/1940s. These watches are hard to comeby these days.

Cousin to Rolex, here my humble Tudor calibre 59 from 1940s.

Emmmmmm.......

What Rolex to add into my old Rolex collection?
Title: Re: My Old Rolex Collection
Post by: koryong on February 26, 2018, 07:30:50 PM
Nice collection  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

What to add ?  Go older ... ;-) ... like GMT 16750 or Sub 16800 while they're still "relatively cheap".  Can still find these transitional references with matte dial for decent prices.

Yes is so amaze to see a vintage watch, and imagine the watch was made 30-50years ago. Now it turn in vintage with full of history. I owned 2 nos of 16014 silver and black dial. Iconic date just design. But don’t know is these qualified as vintage watch...

What Rolex to add into my old Rolex collection?

Daydate? or if you want to go sport I would say a submariner 1680, 5513 or 14060.
Title: Re: My Old Rolex Collection
Post by: bjorkqvist.h on October 08, 2018, 08:08:04 PM
