The other day, a customer wanted to buy back a watch.
There was one watch that I was especially happy to have back.
How many people can look at this watch and tell you the model number and caliber number?
If you ask someone who sells vintage Rolex, it's like the basics,
These days, many people don't even know the model name, let alone the model number.
I feel like more and more people are having conversations based solely on the brand name.
These days I think I should at least tell you the model name.
Although it's not as bad as Mr. Nomu, I keep my "grievances" in moderation.
I personally like "vintage" Rolexes, so
When I see and touch a watch like this, I get excited and get excited.
Especially the combination of wedge index x leaf or dolphin needle x rivet bracelet,
Isn't this detail irresistible for those who love vintage?
Watches with such details can be seen from the 1940s to the early 1960s,
Honestly, the Rolexes from the 40s and early 50s are crap.
The longer you repair something than the time you use it, the more likely it is to break.
Well, the machines made before caliber 1030 are damaged by metal fatigue, etc.
It also has many defects and is easily broken.
Just because it's a Rolex, you have to be prepared to have a watch of this age that will cost a huge amount to repair if it breaks.
Machines have become relatively durable since the late 1950s, but
However, many Cal.1530 and Cal.1560 machines, including this machine, have some looseness in some places.
At least as far as humans go, I'm at an age where I have one foot in the coffin, so I don't think I'll be too nervous.
However, it is best to repair what is broken.
This is a Cal.1530 machine with a calendar attached.
Normally, the 1530 does not have a calendar, but
Only this "Air King-Date" comes with a calendar.
In the 1950s, many products were made for the North American market,
Big Oyster, White Explorer, etc.
It is a market full of vintage model national treasure items.
This was my first luxury watch, the Air King.
As someone who has a special view of Air King,
This design from the late 1950s seems somehow "special."
The index is packed tightly, which is lovely.
This is a style that can be called "vintage".
It feels like it's about to fall apart at any moment...it's the best!!
We are planning to perform maintenance and sell it as soon as possible.
The chances of seeing a watch like this are decreasing with each passing year.
At that time, it was uncouth to say things like “this” and “this”.
This is a watch you should get while you can.
Please contact us if you are interested.
