1966 Rolex watch…!!!!!!

[Dave3166]

Hi everyone.
I quite fancy getting a vintage Rolex from my year birth.
What I would like to ask is, could someone point me in the right direction as to where abouts I can oxtail one.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Dave.

I think you are just going to have to trawl the usual sites - Blowers, Watch finders etc. You could also try a want to buy on somewhere like tz-forums or here.

I've got a GMT from round then but I cant remember the exact year!

I'm interested in how you oxtail a watch too.

There tends to be some beef when people talk about Rolex around here.

But take a look at Chrono24 to see what’s available, you can filter by year.

I would recommend a Datejust - I have an 84 birth year.

Give Chrono24 a go as you can filter to any specific year.

There are 10 x 1966 Rolex on ebay at the moment in the Uk, to get an idea

It only applies to souper rare watches.

No need to stew about it.

There’s a shop in the Burlington Arcade in London that sells vintage Rolex by year - they have a chronological display in their window. Dare say they’ll be online.

One, now and again, that's clever, is acceptable. No response is required.

Pun contests are for s.

Can someone send me a whoosh parrot, please?

No need for whoosh parrots or any such s**t.

Pun contests completely ruin threads, and anyone who finds them funny is probably akin to this guy in real life:

I bought a 1965 submariner for my 50th . I spent ages ensuring the watch I bought was correct for the year ( face , crown etc ) as the faces changed around that period and there are a lot of errors in the "history " of face changes related to serial numbers .
Depends how anal you want to be but I ended up with a 2nd quarter 1965 watch so born about the same time as me , with all papers . Mine came from ebay , by chance .
Chrono 24 is a good place to look

[Dave3166]

Thanks for the sensible replies.

Much appreciated.

If the pun police won’t let me have a whoosh parrot, would they care to explain wtf CdG and Doof are on about?

I’m not sure anything can “ruin” an already crap thread…

The watch shops in Burlington Arcade must sell 99% of their items to very wealthy tourists. The prices are nuts.

You're better off going with Mike Wood at http://www.theoldwatchshop.com/ or asking Dominic Hatchet https://www.hackettwatches.com/ to keep an eye out for you.
