True! Even on Grady (7 3/4 inch wrists) a 114270 looks good!

36mm is currently my favorite size on the dress size category, loving my 18239, but your DD (118206?? ) really rocks!

Thank you very much. Yes, it's the 118206. And I do agree, for a more dressy watch it's a great size

It's called a "roulette date wheel." The even numbers are black and the odd numbers are red. Apparently from what I've read and heard from an AD (take it with a grain of salt and someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Rolex used a roulette date wheel because in WWII London used a system where odd / even days denoted the availability of certain consumer goods and who was allowed what on said day.

Not Rolex but 36mm none the less.

This thread has actually inspired me to start wearing this again after ignoring it for about the last 10 years...lol

Here's mine. I just picked it up yesterday, my first Rolex, 1999 DJ certified pre-owned from an AD. My concern is the hands, does anyone know if these are genuine? There's no lume to them, but I have the lume dots on the hour markers.
