Nice collection! Yeah, I'm tethering to my phone but also cannot get the first attached pic to show. Please try another picture, I am curious to see because the Rolex Precision had different styles over the years. Vintage Rolex parts is a major PIA, I don't know what their cutoff date is, maybe three decades +/- but at some point Rolex will no longer service their own timepieces. Am hoping someday 3D printing will solve this nuisance. It's worth noting many of the great modern independent watchmakers cut their teeth in the repair departments of very fancy Swiss makers with a focus on vintage timepieces repairing rare heirlooms where in some cases they had to fabricate parts on their own. Then they became watchmakers on their own, or so the legends go. I love that Omega Seamaster. The hour markers really POP at you, and very few even try to make lugs like that anymore. Bravo. I like the Omega bumper watches as well but like the Rolex Precision they came in many variations over the years. Vintage Rolex is crazy as you likely realized. Even some modern Rolex is crazy. Keep your eye on the prize, enjoy what you have and find short term substitutes or wait. But some of this vintage Rolex bubble needs to deflate in the next market/economic recession. Same goes for a few Patek and other brands, imo. I've more watches I want to sell than buy now. If I don't regularly wear and enjoy a timepiece what's the point. I don't believe in vault queens. Gold, crypto, and a few other things can take that mantle.
