"Incoming" dé·jà vu Rolex...!!!
Just want to share my story with my fellowship & members here on TRF...
I remember the exact look of the first Rolex that I try on at the AD 25 years ago...  ..I turn it down because I was aiming for a Daytona Zenith at that time ..  .....Lately I been eyeing on the first Rolex that I try on but never met my spec because..... They either been all beat up, over polish case or over polish bezel that lose all the sharpness and detail of the numbers..  .Most of them not even a complete set... .Finally found it with all my spec requirements such as complete set, non polish, oyster bracelet, white face stick dial tritium and matching hands.  ..A rare find for me, NOS complete set with a bonus sticker still on the watch and plus blank open name & date on the warranty paper with AD name on it...  ...Wear large than I expect for a 7.3 inch wrist.. .. Maybe because of the over size bezel... ..It a great SS sport dress watch in my opinion.. ..

It is a great watch. I am looking for a Datejust with grey tapestry dial of the same period. Really hard to fine one with full set and in the same shape as yours. Congrats i assume you have done a lot of research work. Enjoy it. We don’t see a lot of those.

That’s an incredible find. Makes me wonder how it was never sold before. Must have been sitting in the safe.
