Stainless steel Rolex Oyster 1950s

My favourite Rolex bubbleback continue to give me joy in vintage collection. In addition, the 1950s Rolex Oyster winding watches also give me great pleasure. The current fever for Rolex sports models has made these winding watches "under rated" and under values.

The stainless steel Rolex Oyster with bracelet was found in Singapore while the Rolex Oyster ref 6480 with engine turned bezel was found in Kunming China during my recent business trip!

Both watches were in excellent conditions with no rust or deep scratches an both dials are in all original conditions! I remembered one of my first Rolex stainless watch collected in the early 1990 was a steel Role Oyster. I later sold it as the dial was a re-conditioned one. After almost 19 years, I have finally managed to get a similar steel watches..
