another vintage :)

[Alanski]

so the story goes, a good friend pestered me for a nice 5513 for flippin ages but none came along to the standard that i wanted him to have so i ended up selling him my perfect one grudgingly :)

a few days after selling it i stupidly said on the phone to my good friend mr jed watch god , any 1665 great whites kicking around it was the only piece that i wanted to replace my perfect 5513 with and nothing else would do , he replies by saying as a matter of fact there could be one on the way soon :D 5513s are great but this is just like a 5513 but its got a date . so here we have it a perfect 1665 from circa 1980, perfect dial hands, not a mark on them and not long serviced, thick font bezel , thick case, orig silver date wheel , its a pure minter :) thanks again to my good friend jed for getting me this , he didnt want it as hes got the comex version :D

without further a do heres some pics , not bad for a 29 yr old watch :)

Sweet-looking watch, mate.

But, c'mon... these are just tiddlers!
I'm waiting for the time you shift up a gear and get a COMEX or Milsub! :):)

And don't try telling me it's not going to happen...:)

[Shane]

I cannot believe you have another vintage in your stable! ;)

You really will have to move onto a COMEX / Brit Mil Sub or at the very least a DRSD :)

Actually Harb, I want him to tell us that its not going to happen, because when he says that , it always happens!

Search for " No more watches" By alanski in the old place ;)

I'm not complaining though. The more watches he gets, the more I get to try on when I visit Scotland next :)

Beautiful 1665.

[Alanski]

thanks guys , but i think thats it for a while ,
got a couple plans for the next two yrs
so cant be blowing crazy money on watches

will a milsub / comex come along sometime ?
( jed dont even answer that one and no im not gonna ask for one cos he will churn one up from somewhere :eek:) my guess is yes but not for a good few yrs, unless i sell off a few of my locked away treasures to fund it but i cant see that happening anytime soon ,

shane as for the double red i was thinking of selling my box/papers red 1680 to help fund a double red but thought naah thats a keeper too so got the 1665 white instead so im more than happy with them two. one single red and one great white is ok with me :)

once again thanks to my dear friend jed who has made all this possible with all his priceless advice and help for me to be able to get all these wonderful pieces all along the way the last couple yrs :):) he doesnt post much here these days but you guys should see some of his new toys of late , half of you lot will be in shock to say the least :eek::D

[Mike Wood]

Hopefully, one day he will be able to afford a new Rolex watch.

But I guess, in the meantime, an old Rolex will do...
