Newly acquired ref 15007 from 1974-75. The case and bracelet are 18 k, diameter is 34mm. Movement is a 3035. It has all boxes, booklet, service booklet, polishing cloth.

It’s a fine example of why never to buy 18k gold. It gets mashed.

TimeLord2 · 27 July 2019, 02:20 AM

Where's the mashed part? Picture looks blurry and unfocused. Apologies on the photography critique OP… Very nice!

kwcsports · 27 July 2019, 02:23 AM

I think it looks great. Congrats

Apologies for the bad photo. Tried to shoot it holding iPad

Good one. Enjoy it

It represents a time when...well this hobby was saner.

A time when Rolex collecting life was slower and oh so mellow.

Bezel at around the 4 minute and 8 minute marker...if that’s what he’s referring to.

Nice looking example

BisonHead · 28 July 2019, 01:42 AM

Lovely looking watch, up there for me with DD for me. Would love to find that example in a 1971 year with all the boxes etc.

SubMarine · 28 July 2019, 03:32 AM

14k, not 18.

Styling that was great 40 plus years back and still looks great today
The reliabity of the (new at the time) Rolex 3035 movement
That great movement protected from the elements by a handsome 14k case
Simply a great watch !

Oh, . . . I DO so wish that I had started 2 or 3 decades ago. I can only imagine at how nice the "club" would have been. But really, despite a few harsh comments at times by posters who forget that they're talking to other real people who are just trying to share their new toy with their (virtual) friends, . . by and large most of our TRF'ers are extraordinary folks, and very supportive!

I, at least, salute the vast majority of TRF, and am proud to be a part of it.

And, BTW . . . I think that's a really nice old DJ, too! (But it's gonna have to be 20 years older for me to call it a "birth year watch" !!

77T · 28 July 2019, 12:07 PM

My DJ is not as old as me perhaps, but wiser methinks...
