For my 3,000 post I thought I'd start a thread I will continue updating, with all the vintage Rolex (my main area of interest and knowledge) references, years of production and relative calibers. I will also add further info on the models, as this will be a running thread ending up long and going. Don't be scared if you see something is incomplete, this is a work in progress and so will be for a long time, as I really plan to give everybody all the info possible, so no need to go like "hey the ref.xxxx is missing". Don't worry it is most likely coming soon with extra data =)

This will be a RWI exclusive, I ain't going to post this anywhere else.

Let me have once again the chance on this occasion to thank the forum, all the great people I have found in here, all the knowledge flowing in the various sections, our chief, all the admins and mods for their awesome contribution to our common hobby, all the trusted dealers without whom all of this would be much much worse, all the advisors and experts in RWI sharing their experience for the benefit of everybody.
Again, really from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.

Joe

Enjoy.

Thanks, don't worry guys, this is a work in progress, I plan to go real deep into Rolex world adding crystals, standard and rare bracelets, endlinks and crowns references, sizes and pictures etc.
I want this thread to be the official RWI reference guide for vintage Rolexes.
Later on it might as well come in PDF format, as a RWI featured exclusive.
It will take time so stay tuned and enjoy =)

Thanks guys, still coming, I will try to better the order and make it easier to browse.
Atm I am basically putting together the material, in the future I might add an actual link to all the refs, slowly one by one, leading to extra info on each reference or part.
It'd be rather cool to make it work like a small miniature site, ordered with a menu etc.

Enjoy

Fantastic work Joe, I've tried to find a small portion of this recently and it isn't easy, so having it all in one place will be really valuable for anyone who is serious about vintage Rolex.

Thanks

Just updated. Added clasp internal reference codes, rather hard to find, to know exactly when your clasp was released =)

Enjoy
