My very first Rolex

Well being an Omega man and after receiving a lot of help from fellow members on here (thank you) to finding my fisrt Rolex I have just received my Very First Rolex

I decided to go for a pre-owned Datejust Circa 2002/2004. Here is my wristshot



I am more than a happy man at the minute (I have to thank my wife and my good mother who helped purchase this for me). The watch is mint and any marks shown are tricks of the light.

I'm glad that you managed to track one down.

It's a classic, timeless design.

You have the true taste of a Connoisseur, my friend!

Funny thing that some years ago, my first Rolex to date was the same one you have got there! ...SS Datejust, with Rhodium Silver Dial, and I still love it the most! It get alot of wrist, since it´s so classical that it goes with every occasion without being wrong!

Here´s a pic of mine: (excuse me for the bad lighting, that didn´t show the Silver Dial properly)


Excellent choice!
Congratulations!

[]´s
Erwin.

Thank you Frost, I was just reading your other post

You may just be in luck, I have got the bug really bad and I have tried the Milgauss on and liked it very much. This little beauty may just be flipped to help pay for the Milgauss
