Apr - Jun 2022, Q2 Review

For the second quater 2022, I have tried to be very selective and extremely careful in my collection. I really wanted to tighten my collection limiting to Rolex and only to a few to keep my collection manageable following my less successful attempts in Q1. 

However, as you can see, in Q2, I have not been very successful for two reasons. Firstly, I am on a nostalgic moment where I have been on the path of getting back some watches that I have sold during the late 1980s and 1990s when I first started watch collecting. Secondly, I have continued my search for Rolex in my wishlists. Nevertheless, I have tried to take it slow now and for the last few days of June, i have been focusing  on the time consuming restoration of vintage watches. 

1. Rolex Explorer 1 ref 6610
This is my second Explorer 6610. My first was purchsed in July 2013.Traded two Omegas plus cash for it

Octo Missilemaster was a populat Mid Price brand in HK during the 1950-60s

Couldnt resist a Rose gold  Rolex 6309. Traded to watches with cash top up for this. 

I have decided to buy this as a project for restoring an old Rolex Prince
Restored Rolex and Gruen doctor's watch each with the correctly marked movements

 
1920s Harwood watch - World's first automatic watch 

Rolex 1803 in Rose gold day date. Even though this is not the most expensive, its one that required the most effort in searching as Rose gold Day Date is super rare, plus having a pink gold dial is also a difficult combination to find.


Wishlists:
1. Rolex rose gold 6309 Pre Thunderbird (Found)
2. Rolex rose gold 1803 Day Date President watch (Found)
3. Rolex 1601 or 1803 Tigereye or Lapis or Onyx
4. Jaeger leCoultre memovx lapis
5. Jaeger lecoultre polaris

Traded away 2022 : To keep the watches number down, I have traded the following:
1. Felix the cat watch
2. Tudor watch ref 7934
3. Rolex 6206 bracelets
4. Omega Constellation date 168.027 white gold bezel
5. Omega 3944/2473
7. Vintage Silver watch
8. Lip thermometer watch
9. Rolex 6604
