[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 511398, member: 2244"] I have 3 which were bought before they started making wrist jewelry. I have my fathers 1956 Explorer, a stainless Datejust I bought in '72 and a '65 Submariner I bought in '69. All are great watches and at the time priced equal to any other quality watch at the time. Sadly at today's pricing I would not go near one especially with the variety of quality Asian watches available today. Believe it or not, Seiko and Citizen make watches EQUAL to ANYTHING Rolex makes. Remember, back in the '60s when Seiko took the top 3 places in the chronograph competition for two years, the German / Swiss organization changed the admittance rules to ONLY allow German/ Swiss manufacturers so in my mind that chronograph certified c**p they use is just that c**p :twisted: They are good watches for sure and if you want to spend over $5,000.00 for a stainless watch go ahead!
