My Day Date is just back after servicing.

Its an 1803 from the early 1960s and it was on a gold Jubilee bracelet. I am told
that a Jubilee bracelet was an option in the early days of this watch. I've really
started liking/enjoying/wearing my Day Date a lot more after switching it to a black
leather strap about a year ago. Yeah sacrilege I know, but I think it actually looks
even nicer/classier now - just a gold watch with a simple classic face on a black
strap. Plus, with the bling-bling factor down, I now feel free to wear it anywhere.

Strange, but it looks less like a Rolex now, but feels more truly Rolex.

I did some new pics. Share what you like best about your own Day Date and post pics

Renato,
I have enormous respect for a guy who wears a platinum DD and also proud to sport a Tudor Sub [or two

].

A true watch aficionado and for all the right reasons.

Well done, my friend.
