Vintage Rolex $25k or more

I'd be interested to see some of our members' big vintage pieces.

Lets see some pics of your high end vintage Rolex! (I don't have one at the moment )

but just to start this thread, here's a 6263. And yes, I do have the original black omega dial for this watch. I just like the white look better

Not sure this one meets the criteria for your request, but it's certainly my most high-end (e.g. pricey) vintage Rolex. Early 8 mil, untouched 1655.

Here is a couple shots of my grail watch. It was my fathers, he is the original owner, the watch has all original boxes, papers, hang tags, receipt etc... Value to me is priceless.

Michael, beautiful watches. Does it mean that you value PNs @ $160K each (or I am missing something obvious)?

Beautiful 6263! That's a service dial on her right?

I think that would be a very approximate figure. Probably much less, though, realistically.

yes, service lumi dial. Also, service bezel. Original had a crack in it, and RSC refused to service the watch unless they replace the bezel. Since for this Daytona, I really needed RSC service papers, I agreed... Now, I need to drop $2K to get a correct bezel.

I love that watch. I concur, the white does look better.

Hello, i inherit the same watch from my father, it will be a great help if you give me some info, my watch is not in excellent shape, it has a missing pusher and the second one is stock, the bezel has some damage and theres no bracelet.
Thanks for your time.

I have a similar package minus the provenance. Take good care of that piece.

At this point we have not been able to establish a value for this Wilsdorf & Davis ladies pendant watch, accurately dated through case hallmarks to 1908, the same year that Hans Wilsdorf registered the Rolex tradename. Might be worth a small fortune, might be worth a lot less than the considerable amount I paid to have it restored.

In the end they're only worth what someone is willing to give you, but this one has significant horological value to me. After all, ol' Hans himself might have handled it.
