2021 Best Buy

2021 is coming to a close. Looking back, the journey has been an interesting one. In particular, I have been trying to focus on the rose gold watches (examples Rolex 6609, Rolex 1601 in solid gold and 1601 in half gold, Omega Cosmic). There is one more Rolex 1803 in rose gold that I am currently chasing.In addition, my focus has been on the Rolex Big Bubbleback 5031,6031, 5075. 

These are the summary of the watches that I have found in the year 2021:

1. Focus on the core vintage Rolex especially the BIG Bubbleback series and some early unusual Rolex.

Rolex 6609 (8 Feb 2021). I have the steel & gold Rolex 6609 and a 1625. 
This rose gold 6609 will fit nicely to the Thunderbird  collection. Saw a rare 6309 but the price is treple...

Rolex 1630  ( 5 March 2021). I disliked the look initially as it does not have the 
traditional Rolex look and feel but somehow grew to like this avant-garde design.

Rolex big bubbleback ref 6105 ( March 27, 2021)

Rolex 5031 (4th April 2021) traded with Rolex 3372.

Rolex 6031 (8th April 2021)

Rolex 5075 in nice rose gold and steel (24 April)
