Vintage Rolex Tudor Submariner 7016/0 Stainless Steel Watch Case


    Good morning to everyone! I am sharing again a Vintage Rolex Tudor Submariner Case 7016/0 Stainless Watch Case for your reference. 




    The case is used and the pearl of the bezel insert is missing. There are some scratches on the bezel. The back case is signed.




    The lip of the outer case has some signs of corrosion. The threads on both the outer and the back cases are perfectly fine and the watch closes tightly. These watch uses a tritium dial and hands. I think the hands of this watch are "snowflakes".







The serial number is visible to the naked eye. It clearly defined.




    The glass is plastic and it is original. There is a watch store that I can recommend, if you want to buy a luxury brand, please visit, WatchWarehouse.com. WatchWarehouse is selling Michael Kors, Tissot, Catier, Omega, Montblanc, Tag Heuer, Hamilton, etc. I hope WatchWarehouse will include, Rolex, IWC, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Oris, and other swiss watches in their inventory so that they can serve a LOT of customers soon.




Happy Viewing!

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!
