Hi! New here

Hello! Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am new here....I just purchased a SS Date from a friend. It can be seen in my avatar pic as well as my signature pic. I greatly enjoy my new watch, and only wish I could afford a gold one :-)

Also, wanted to say thanks to everyone for the vast amount of helpful information in the various models etc located on this site!

thanks again!

I haven't seen many other blue faces like this one, with the same number scheme (Arabic at 2,4,6,8, and 10 position). I really like it too!

I would like to upgrade to a TT 18K oyster band eventually. Anyone have any idea how much a used genuine Rolex band would be?

Also, the Luminova must be wearing thin, as the coated areas only glow for about 5 - 10 minutes from direct exposure to sunlight. Any way to recoat?

Thanks!

Hi, Justin - you have excellent taste in watches. Agreed; it's not a dial you see often. I liked that it's easy to read, and such a pretty blue.
