Back from the Spa

It's back. And all i hoped for. I love this watch. But the case condition (also unpolished) always gave me a bit of down. I love those classical lugs. And wanted the case to be freshed up. 

Just was back in Geneva

I was just back in Geneva for 3 days. I have not seen anything of the city... then 150 mtr. boulevard. LOOL! But the trip was great with maybe a great future to come out of it. 

I just can't stop shooting this watch

Ohhh after more then 2 years. I am still in love for this stunner. I can't get enough of it. For me it's the total style queen of all times!

Collecting Rolex...

As the stats of my blog show, a lot of people who are interested into vintage Rolex are visiting this blog. A lot of people who are not into collecting vintage Rolex yet also. So for these people starting the love for this fantastic watches and hobby. Here is a little review on Mondani editore. They create a lot of great books. Which for me and a lot of other collectors where the starting point of their trip.

Geneva auctions

Dear friends. Sorry for so little content lately. I was so deep into deadlines and projects. But i want to share with you my trip to Geneva i had a couple of weeks ago. To the auction weekend. It was fantastic. With the Christies/HTE party, great watches and meeting a lot of great friends.

A rare bird

Here is a real rare bird. A UAE GMT.... with provenance.

Which is a real great find. Thanks for all the help my friends!

Knokke... girls wear Datejust

I was at Knokke beach the last days. A well needed break with the family. Sun... relaxed fun. And the funny thing was... that all the girls and woman there where wearing Rolex. Datejust.....

Strap fetish

Well lately i got a lot of questions about where to get those straps i am showing. As they where all presents from friends. I could not tell. The Shell Corduvan was a prototype... etc.

But now i found a nice place where to get some of these smooth leather nato straps. And i received 2 of them. They are real thin and made in Australia.

Cooool Antwerp

I love to visit cities. Not so much the old style, all perfect cities/part. But the cities, which are coming from a industrial past. Or have their problem area's. And often you see the change and most energy in those area's... when the creative industry is taking it's place. Often the first to start. Raw... 

The images for Christies

As you see below.. i had a small session of photography of the HTE watches for the Christies catalogue. May auction. And here are some of the results...

Old images....

Sometimes i scroll through Photobucket.. and then i see all thjose images. Images of great events,.. great people... and great moments in my collecting history. Vieuws from the past.

It's been a while

Since i was wearing my Comex. It slept in the dark for to long. So i had to take it and wear it again. Love this watch!
