Rolex

Tons of charm on this one! 40y, does that still qualify as "neo vintage"?

This cream dial needs some light to reveal its incredible charm. Which is one of these great transitional and neo vintage Rolex. Almost 40 years old, now! Best, nicolas ...  

Niceee

These 5 digit Rolexes have so much appeal.

Definitely, mon ami.

Is that “Polar” designation or something else?

I think the polar is the all white one, not the cream.

A beauty!

I should have never sold the one I had so many years ago.

You shouldn't indeed. Now, they are tough to catch.

This creamy dial is unbeatable! The next best thing would be white! 😉

Hehehe!

The creamy dial is truly charming indeed... just gorgeous!

Yes, just intriguing, subtle and bewitching. A watch which takes time t fully appreciate it. Time and different lights.

So beautiful.

Was the dial originally cream? Or it is patina?

Patina, mon ami. Due to the flaw of the lacquer.
