Q1 Jan - Mar 2025 Review

I have started the Q1 of 2025 with a very clear focus on strengthening my vintage Rolex collection and getting those watches that I have failed to find in the past plus with the objective of reducing the number of watches. Its back to basic year!

Rolex 18078 in Stella blue dial with diamonds markers. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful and interesting watch with its nice shining stella blue dial and the bark bezel and bracelet.. 

Rolex 5030 in 18k rose gold shall be my best buy for the year as i have been looking for this watch for a long time. I have almost managed to get one in yellow gold in 2024 but the movement is not the full bubbleback one plus its in yellow gold instead of the rose gold.

Rolex 6105 in 18k yellow gold
