Learn: Vintage Rolex 101

While we love and collect a wide range of manufacturers, we are especially confident recommending vintage Rolex watches to new and established collectors, for a wide variety of reasons. You can wear them just about anytime/anywhere and we firmly believe few options are superior to the robust quality found in vintage Rolex watches. This can be found in certain aspects such the case quality and construction, as well as the fact many of these models can be readily made water resistant despite being 50+ years old! In addition, it is not uncommon that we will place a vintage Rolex on a timegrapher to discover the accuracy and amplitude are impressively high despite no service history. Contrary to what the Swiss watch industry might claim, the durability and performance of vintage Rolex is superior to many contemporary offerings from so-called “haute horlogerie” manufacturers.

Below are several articles and videos we have written and produced over the years that will help you learn the basics and intricate details for collecting vintage Rolex watches!
