Immerse Yourself in the World of Rolex Through Mike Wood's Private Vintage Collection

Perched on the outskirts of Liverpool, longtime Rolex aficionado, Mike Wood, hosted ‘For Exhibition Only’, an intimate private showcase of his staggering Rolex collection. This two-month event highlighted hundreds of Rolex watches, from the nostalgic Bubbleback to early Datejust models, along with an abundance of Rolex accessories and memorabilia.

Wood’s residence, an unassuming building in a seaside town, belied what lay behind its door. Inside, an endless trove of Rolex treasures spanning several decades was artfully displayed, creating a snapshot of the brand’s rich heritage. One could lose themselves amidst Rolex watchmaker’s benches from the 70s, vintage advertisements gracing the walls, and even Comex diving gear, a tangible nod to the brand’s connection with deep-sea exploration.
