The first gen Rolex for the hobbyist homage watch builder.
Posted: December 16th, 2018, 4:47 pm
After years of enjoying vintage Panerai builds and slowly getting into gen military watches I finally took the dive and picked up my first gen vintage Rolex.
In the past I’ve bought my wife a gen 1930s cushion case Rolex and recently a gen linen Dial DJ as a “push present” for our second born.
This watch was also as a special commemoration for our second daughter.
To raise funds for this dream watch I sold off 10 watches of which some were builds and some were gen. Many of which I thought I would never sell.
But here it is now and boy do I enjoy the journey I’ve taken to get here.
