Photo Report: Wind Vintage at RollieFest 2023

By Charlie Dunne

This weekend Eric Wind and I had the pleasure of attending the 2023 RollieFest. Like most, we are huge fans of RollieFest Founder and Head of Watches, Americas at Sotheby’s Geoff Hess (@manhattanrollie). Hess coordinated an incredible event with the assistance of Ilysa Steinberg, and was joined with an Allstar cast of our friends and colleagues of Sotheby's Watch Department (including the likes of Jonathon Burford, Vincent Brasesco, Daryn Schnipper, Leigh Safar, Janet Tham, Skip Powell, and the highly-acclaimed Richard Lopez). We had an amazing weekend spending time with dozens of friends and seeing some exceptional timepieces.

It was a beautiful weekend full of enthusiasm and passion. I will keep the write up short and sweet, and leave the juicy details/gossip of RollieFest undisclosed (if you want to read a long-form article on Rolex, go check out my ‘Collector's Guide of the GMT-Master reference 1675’ from last week). Instead, I will leave you with another modem-burner photo report below which includes a few of my favorite watches at the show.
