Let’s go beyond the hype and talk about five underrated Rolex watches.
The last one makes up only point zero zero five % of Rolex watches.
On Chrono 24, the Rolex Chronograph combines the elegance of a day
just with the rotating bezel of a submariner.
Form and function. You’ve got beautifully aged vintage examples,
funky modern examples,
and neo vintage examples that fly under the radar.
The Rolex Yachtmaster can be a bit much,
but there are subtle and even chic versions if you dig a little deeper.
We’re talking platinum beavers,
expressive seconds hands, and mid size cases in 35 and 37 millimeters
to fit a wider range of wrists.
The Rolex Submariner 1 4 0 6 0 is called the last of the best
because it is the final generation
before Rolex’s really modernized the sub.
You’ve got a clean dial without a date,
drilled lug holes for easier strap changes,
and a thin case that wears compact on the wrist.
And an aluminum bezel that gains more character as it ages.
The Rolex 1530 looks like an oyster quartz,
but it’s hiding a mechanical movement.
It’s estimated that only 15 examples were made,
and it’s the rare combination of an integrated bracelet,
mechanical movement, and crown on the dial.
Finally, with only five examples currently on the site,
the Rolex 9 0 8 3 is a mid century weirdo,
rotting a UFO style case, riveted bracelet,
recessed crown, and a textured honeycomb dial.
It’s cool, it’s weird,
it’s rare, and It’s not as expensive as you might think
