Jonathan — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:08:31 +0800

Vintage. No box/papers. This is a very nice find, a highly original 1960s Rolex Oysterdate with beautiful patina. It has aged gracefully with a good factory gold plated case & a movement in mint condition. The jewel on this watch is the period & highly desirable red & black numbers on the date disc as they were often replaced over the years with modern black nos.

Rolex, 30mm C.1960s "Oysterdate" Precision in yellow gold plated over steel

Jonathan — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:50:57 +0800

Vintage. No box/cert. This is a very well done customisation job from the 1990s when collectors were keeping boy's size watches and vintage Rolexes were the rage. However, some clients wanted a "new" vintage look and this was offered. It was very common in those days to see watches in steel to be plated into gold or have pink gold & steel combination etc. Then, a huge variety of dials were offered and of course some with gems.

Eberhard & Co, "Semi Hunter" in 14KYG

Jonathan — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:30:41 +0800

New old stock. No boxes or papers. This Eberhard & Co watch is probably a 1980s re-production of an original from the early 20th century. We have very little information on this watch but it came in a variety of dial & full hunter or semi hunter covers. All were 14KYG & it is probably part of a 100th anniversary edition from 1887 & a very authentic re-production by Eberhard & Co.

The orig crown shows some wear on the jagged edges but otherwise very good. The plastic crystal is perfect & dial is in fantastic condition while the movement shines.

Vintage. No box/papers. This is a very handsome vintage watch from Cyma, a reknown household brand in the pre 1980s. The case is large (in those days) & is very well kept. The original dial has a very attractive layout & it has nicely aged while the orig. signed crown is a little worn but works precisely. The gold cap on the case is original & in excellent condition which is a rare find today.

Rolex "Tonneau" in 9KYG

fion — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:53:16 +0800

Vintage. No box/paper. This beautiful early lady's Rolex is fitted with one of the better movements available @ that time. Upon closer inspection, we found that this watch is in very nice original condition throughout except a few items such as the crystal, crown (Rolex never signed their crowns @ this time but this could be an original) & a replaced bracelet @ later time. The bracelet is not critical since Rolex don't make their own bracelets back then & owners could replace it with any bracelets they fancy.
