Vintage Rolex rose gold and Steel Oysterdate ref 1601

I was visiting my regular dealer friend Mr. Wong one weekend and saw this Rolex Oysterdate in rose gold bezel and steel in the black dial. I have always love the rose gold bezel and crown Oysterdate. This one is special as it has the desirable black dial as well. I was very excited as this black dial in rose gold bezel is very rare and I didn't have enough cash with me. Mr. Wong has kindly agreed to reserve for me. Even though the bracelet needs some tightening work, the watch head is fine. Finally, this watch come safely home to join with the rest of my Datejust collection.

Omega Constellation Pie Pan gilt dial

For the collectors who understand vintage watches, they will appreciate the black gilt dial. I have just sold away my Voit diver watch in order to get this Omega Constellation with the rare pie pan black gilt dial as part of my exercise in keeping a tighter collection of Omega watches, which is getting harder to find especially with an original Omega metal bracelet.

Omega Constellation Pie Pan dial

This afternoon, I have traded my Gado Chronogtaph for a vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan dial with bracelet in order not to increase the number of watches and to try to keep a tighter vintage Omega collection.
