The Rolex Oyster Perpetual that is about to undergo maintenance,
This is a watch I bought based on my personal preference (lol)
When I was around 20 years old, I became interested in Rolex.
It was around the time when the Rolex sports model boom began.
Casual clothes were more popular than they are now,
When it comes to watches that go well with clothing, sports models from Rolex and Omega were the mainstream.
At that time, if you worked hard at a part-time job, you could buy a cheap sports model.
You could buy watches at prices that are unimaginable today.
At that time, Rolex itself was not a luxury item,
The image is that it is an imported watch that is hard to break and can be repaired stably.
I am of the generation that has experienced such changes in watches,
Including so many items,
You can find rare things that you can't even see in real life these days.
I think once again that I had a good time.
Meanwhile, when everyone was pursuing sports models,
Is your evil personality a hindrance? or
I started to develop a deep interest in dress watches.
At that time, it was treated as an entry-level model for vintage watches.
Oyster Perpetual and Air King,
I'm very interested in things like Oysterdate.
There are more variations than the sports model, so
I'm impressed by how the details differ depending on the age.
While looking at various watches,
- Burnt and discolored dial
・Thick needles such as dolphin needles
・Indices with quirks such as wedges
I started to feel strangely interested in these watches.
Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm at the age where clothes that are too casual no longer suit me.
When you start to like watches that go well with shirts and knitwear,
A watch like the one I purchased this time naturally makes me feel calm.
This individual is highly original,
The details of the movement remain the same.
It is also interesting that parts that have often been replaced remain.
I was also fascinated by the rivet bracelet, which was in such good condition.
The windshield was cracked, so it has been replaced, but maintenance will begin soon.
I kind of want this myself (lol)
