At the moment that the snow hit Holland, me and my family where off to K0h Samui for a well deserved holidays. I can only recommend everybody who has not yet been there, to consider this little Island gem for your next destination. From there I popped in the plain again to meet up with my vintage Rolex buddies in Hong Kong. Again I noticed that many more watch lovers ( most of them are hooked to vintage Panerai or Patek Philippe ) are willing to step into the wonders of the vintage Rolex world. It’s become all about education, like we have seen last week on VRF where I questioned the integrity of dealers offering enhanced watches that got laser welded and added faux patina. The vintage world has changed, collectors want the real thing, no swapping, no cosmic surgery just a pure Rolex in all it’s original condition as it was born many years ago. Still so many collectors don’t go this way, partly due to a lack of knowledge or simply because they trust their dealer to much and got lazy making their due diligence before buying something new. But I noticed also that those that do understand the important miracles and small details that make a vintage Rolex unique in it’s present, are buying strong to secure these marvel in their collection. So yes, we are still improving the market, making the way free for new, mainly Asian, collectors to step into out beloved hobby! So again, good news! Here’re some impressions of my last 2 weeks, enjoy!
