Rolex Explorer II 1665 Stainless Steel Automatic in Near Mint Condition Wristwatch

    I am sharing my friend's Rolex Explorer II 1665 in Stainless Steel Automatic in Near Mint Condition. The watch has a beautiful black dial. These watch was already sold before this posting. I wish to own a watch like this in the future. :)

    But, I am pretty much sure that I will not mortgage any of our land in the province just to own this kind of watch.

Cordillera Art "Mini-Bulol" ? crafted on Animal Bones at Bencab Museum, Baguio City, Philippines

Around 4 years ago, me, my nanny, and my dog spent our Holy Week vacation in Baguio City, Philippines. I drove for 6 hours using the Kennon Road from Pangasinan. I like Kennon Road over Marcos Road because of the following reasons; 1. I'm used of driving in Kennon. 2. There are no big buses using Kennon 3. It has a short distance from Pangasinan to Baguio City. The only problem of Kennon is, the road is narrow compared to a much wider Marcos Road. Kennon Road was built by the Americans in 1903. On our second day in Baguio City, we went to Bencab Museum along Asin Road. I did not use my car because I did not know where Bencab Museum is. We hired a taxi and asked the driver to bring us to Bencab museum. The road going to the museum is not meant for me to drive. I was scared of narrow roads in Baguio City. My car insurance is not comprehensive, I do not have a personal insurance, and I just sold my Sunlife Phil Equity Mutual Fund. I do not have enough coverage. Haha. When we reached the museum, I went directly to the place where they sell souvenier items and I bought two Bencab prints of which I eventually sold to collectors in Manila after our Holy Week vacation. One is a Mother and Child and the other one is a sunset in the Cordilleras. I politely asked Bencab to personally sign the two prints. He was in the museum during the time of our visit. During our tour of the museum, I was intrigued by the carvings on animal bones of "Mini-Bulol"?. This animal bone carvings are part of Bencab's collection of Cordillera Art. Bencab is a monicker of Benedicto Cabrera. He was awarded National Artist for Visual Arts in the Philippines in 2006. He is a Famous Filipino painter and has sold his artworks around the world.

I am standing infront of some of the hard to find Bulol Collection of Bencab.

I did know that Bencab was on my left side while I was having my photograph taken infront of the reception table of the Bencab Museum. I really love the painting on the wall. This painting is really a representation of the Art and the people of the Cordilleras.

A Vintage Rolex GMT-Master Faded Yellow Bezel was a Saviour

I had one Vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Faded Pepsi Bezel Insert left in my inventory and I was not sure if the appearance of the bezel would attract buyers until I saw a faded GMT Yellow Bezel inside my drawer and I thought of combining it with the Pepsi Faded Bezel for auction. The two items did very well in auction and I honestly did not expect that auction to bring in some extra cash. All I wanted was to get my money back from both items. I did not think about profit. To the person who bought these two items, Thank you very much!

I have remembered a line from a book "Blink" that I have read that says, the first thing that comes to your mind is the right thing because that first decision of yours is a mixture of all your past experiences. I'm happy that I did the right thing!

A Vintage Rolex Endlinks 58 for 7205 or 7206 Rivet Endpiece used for Old Sports Watch Model

I am sharing a photo of a Vintage Rolex Endlinks 58 for reference. These endlinks are used for 7205 or 7206 Rivet Bracelets for Old Rolex Submariner Models.

When shipping a small item with HIGH VALUE, I always use EMS Parcel with 2-3 days delivery to the USA or 5 days delivery to any European nations. Sometimes, I use FEDEX and declare the item as "A part" of a watch because FEDEX do not accept watches. I oftentimes shouldered the shipping additional costs because I want my items to be safe and I want to provide a fast delivery to all my customers.

Good morning! buongiorno! I am serving coffee for everyone! Please find your own seat. Thank you! :)

Another example of a Beautiful Vintage Rolex GMT - Master 1675 Pepsi Faded Bezel Insert

    After I made a profit on the first Vintage Rolex GMT - Master 1675 Pepsi Faded Bezel Insert, I requested my sellers to find me another GMT Faded Bezel Insert. This is the second GMT Pepsi Bezel Insert that I sold and I also made a profit on this one.

What I love about this bezel insert is that the blue part has just faded so perfectly fine!

 Happy Viewing!

Vintage Rolex Clasp for Sports Model with 20MM Lugsize

   What a beautiful day is today! Birds are chirping outside of my home. The sun is too shy to shine. Enough of my poetic pursuit! :) :) :) Before I will go straight to my post today, I have added a translation button on the upper right side for the benefit of those readers from non-English speaking nations. Here is a Vintage Rolex Clasp for Rolex Sports Model with a lugsize of 20MM.

    The clasp was manufactured by Rolex on the third quarter of 1970. Please see the small crack in the photo. Well, it is a BIT disappointing but it did not ruin my day.

The clasp is signed on both the blades.

The clasp closes perfectly fine.

   

Happy Viewing!

Vintage1967 Rolex Submariner 5513 Watch Case

    Good early morning to everyone! I cannot sleep so I will make use of my time by posting this Vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 Watch Case. This watch was produced on the last quarter of 1967.

There are scratches on the watch due to wear or maybe carelessness.

    The inner side of the outer case has some remnants of corrosion. The threads are in good condition and the watch closes tightly.

    The model number can still be seen with the naked eye. The seven serial number begins with 18. I remembered that when I was photographing both the serial and model numbers of any Rolex cases, I have to kneel down in front of the watch case. It was like praying for the watch case to do well in auction. :)

I felt sleepy now. Maybe it is now the perfect time to dreamland. Happy Viewing!

Vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Matte Dial

    Here is an example of a Vintage Rolex GMT - Master 1675 Matte Dial. I am not sure if the lumes of the dial are tritium because I sold this dial a few years back and I forgot to label this dial in my old computer. I welcome everyone to comment on this dial.

Happy Viewing!
