Marcello Pisani 1956-2015

I am deeply saddened to hear that my friend and one of the most helpful and smartest guy in vintage Rolex passed away.  

I know he never gave me permission to use his name in association to the rare COMEX dials on the 1665 with 600 meter markings as opposed to the later 610m markings. …

Thanks to Eric Ku, for the nice featured article.

It its a great honor to be featured by Eric Ku, owner or 10pastten.com and one of the top vintage watch dealers in the world, on the section The Horological Minute.

Customizing my personal Daytona


One of favorite watches is the vintage 6263 with the white dial. 



I also like the more modern look of the current daytona 116520 but the white racing dial of the gold watch is the coolest looking one in my opinion.
