This forum is for the discussion of vintage model Rolex watches and related material and paraphernalia.

The same rules stated in the parent (General Rolex Discussion) forum are applicable in this forum, so if you are not familiar with them now might be a good time to find out.

Although this forum is primarily intended for the discussion of vintage Rolex watches, that does not mean it is mutually exclusive. Vintage Rolex watches may also be photographed and discussed on the General Rolex forum and other forums.

Anyway, I hope you will get as much pleasure from vintage Rolex watches as I do, they are fascinating and can provide much more by way of history, as many in fact have a history to tell, it is this history that is enriches the watch and our appreciation of it.

Enjoy.

Hi and welcome. Maybe start with learning about some terms listed here http://rolexforums.com/showthread.ph...highlight=list and the different vintage references available here http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=180464 (Note the prices are just a range and might not be uptodate in all cases, are highly market condition dependent but gives a good understanding of the various references available).Also look up historic threads on the vintage forum, a wealth of knowledge there. Then shortlist the ones that appeal to you and learn about them in detail. Feel free to ask questions in the forum, no matter how basic they might seem, super friendly and knowledgeable folk out here:)

hello friend, my impression is that some rolex models are so special as to be vintage when allmost new. right now i'm wearing my favorite, a 1943 aviator that really is my ideal of vintage! i have owned this watch for years and can't find anything about it. it's a big 44mm art deco 17 jewel manual wind and would love to hear from anyone interested, thanks, joe
