Sometimes they come along. 1680

[pawnshopkiller]

I have had a 1972 Red Dial Submariner for a few years now. I love it, don't wear it much as I should since my 5508 came along.

A few weeks ago I got to buy another Red Dialed Submariner from a boat captain. It is an earlier 1970 model with a much better case than my polished up watch.

It is cool to hold them up next to each other and compare the differences. I though you guys would like to see the pics I took.

I hope all my old friends are doing ok out there. We have been doing ok here. I have bought and sold many watches lately. I guess it is a better economy or maybe Tax refunds. Who know, Money moves in mysterious ways.

Three is company.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful watches.

To me, the Red Sub might just be the best looking sport watch Rolex has ever produced. I love everything about it.

Thank you for posting Roscoe, I really enjoyed seeing them.

Hey Chip brother!! Check out how thin the crown guards are on my old one. The new one makes my first look like a beat up junker!!!

I am going to just put the 1970 away and keep on wearing my 1972. Now that I have better condition and older version I don't feel as bad knocking around the polished one.

I haven't had any time for forums lately. I hunted hard this winter and work has been constant solid packed 6 day a week nightmare.

Man I still wish that one day I will make it your way and check out your shop.

Thanks for pointing out the crown guards. I would have never noticed otherwise!

I really like the faded bezel look.

Man, you get to see and own some great stuff Roscoe! I'd love to see some of these vintage beauties in person, but I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you and others via the internet for now.

Yes you must come this way someday. Fishing, crab traps and boat rides all waiting for you. If we strike out on the fishing I will swim down and spear our dinner.

I have acquired some cool stuff lately. Some with stickers.

I like this one...





and this one.

Yeah that stainless and White Gold came all the way from 1994 with it's papers and box. Fun to get them like that,

Maybe that's what I need for my next watch. A nice, clean DJ or an older DD.

Funny, that's the one that caught my eye to.  Clean easy to read dial with romans and a jubilee bracelet.

Yeah I honestly think that there is room for a DJ in every collection.

I kinda want a DD though but I want it in RG. WAY out of my league and then some.

Man a Rose DD with plastic crystal is the BOMB!!!!!

Hard to get though, The bracelet alone is worth more than a yellow one head and full links,

Nice going, Roscoe!

Nice score Roscoe!

Nothing wrong with your old one mate, but the new one is a beauty too. Definitely a keeper.

Great to see you here.
