I was generally pretty dismissive of the whole rolex thing. I admit over the years Mr Devos showed some amazing daytonas, but didn't think much of rolex beyond the daytonas. But I have to say your post contains some really, really cool watches.

The special "gulf" dials do nothing for me, not really comex either (nice history, ugly dial), but I love the tropical James Bond, and the lume'd numerals on the 6200 are nice - like first exec autavias, and also the tropical daytonas are obviously very cool. But my favourites are the gold "serpico" chronos, I've never seen that model before, what is the story behind it? Very, very nice (it used to be considered quite impolite and vulgar to mention gold in this forum, but now we are in the 1158-mania era I think it is considered acceptable).

Thanks for posting!

ps: I'd still never buy a rolex. I second Abel's comment on the Rolex forum.
