You'd be surprised at the members that have a sneaky Rolex lurking in their collections. We don't talk about them for fear of being ostracised though, small. 😆 I'm going to out myself. I picked this little number up from the son of the original owner, who worked for P&O out of Singapore for many years (25 years of service engraving on the back). It's not the sort of Rolex that gets people all hot and bothered, but it's nice to wear occasionally.

Looks much classier than pretty much all of their current line. You'd be surprised at the members that have a sneaky Rolex lurking in their collections.

Nice watch! But you really need a strap that fits the lugs, tritto!

Nice watch! But you really need a strap that fits the lugs, tritto! I know you jest, but do you know now hard it is to make a strap to fit 16mm lugs precisely, Jonas? Leather is flexible material and it fit when I made it, but it seems to have narrowed a little. I need to stretch it back out. 😏

Thank you, Adrian-VTA. Looking at that photo blown up, I may have to try your bright work polishing techniques on the dial and hands.
