Starting Over - Can a DJ Be Designed for Adventure?

So not to bore anyone with a long tale or unboxing series - I am starting over with Rolex after losing mine to a burglar.

Chose a trusted seller here, and a basic model that I hope is up to the adventure ahead. This way, if the Platona & 1803 make it back home thanks to RUSA theft list, this DJ can be a worthy stablemate.

Poor iPhone pics for now - but ready to share the next step on the journey

Released from its coffin...



And now ready, 40 full crown winds, and we’re off for a jaunt in the park to get it’s blood pressure up.

It's a beauty, Paul! I'm sure that DJ on an oyster band can handle whatever adventure you throw at it

Ah - you phrase it more eloquently. Thanks! Hope to see everyone at the next GTG here wearing it.

...or wearing that Sub Stevo will be finding a new home soon!
