This is perhaps a better photograph of some of the pieces in Miltons’ special selection. It was taken at the end of 2013, since when a number of significant pieces have joined those shown here.

This rare Rolex 3525 chronograph in stainless steel belongs to a charming client of Miltons and has been in his family since the time of WWII. We have been advising him about the watch since 2008! Many similar watches were supplied to allied POWs directly from Rolex; the company’s founder Hans Wilsdorf insisted these officers did not pay for their watches until the war was over, but apparently was not let down by any!
The Orange Hand Explorer II model 1655 is something of an oddity, but its rarity has made it collectible in modern times. This typically well-worn example appears to retain its original bezel; note that the seconds hand, unlike the other example shown on this page, is the later all-white version with high visibility dot. The model has at times been called the “Steve McQueen” as it was rumoured that the famous actor had one, but this has never been substantiated and the apparent misnomer is heard less and less these days. For what it is worth, the star appears to have had a Submariner 5512 and perhaps a TAG chronograph.
