Any wristwatch enthusiasts here?

Here are a few of my favorites. I replaced the aftermarket diamond bezel on the blue faced Datejust with a factory bezel but don’t have a good picture of it after it was fixed. The trench is from 1916, was one of those odd Canadian-Rolex import situations (it is marked Rolex in the case but have a different brand on the dial), and likely belonged to a WWW1 pilot, although my research is still ongoing.

Beautiful watches! Any time I see a Rolex all I can think of is Billy Madison when he filled the Pinata at his graduation party with candy and Rolex watches.

Thank you! Yours is awesome and looks to be in great shape. Is the back engraved? Just curious as I’m assuming that’s how you’ve dated it and love engraved watches.

It is not engraved. Wish it was. IT works great. I dated it with the serial # that is on it. Then went online to the omega serial # tracker/decoder

I had these custom made for my blue face GMT II Pepsi Rolex and then sold the watch before I put them on it. So someday I need to get another blue face Rolex to use them on.

Found a NOS of this 2016 version and just purchased it. The one in the case is the actual one I purchased. Can't wait for it to arrive.

That's a good looking watch, congrats!
