They are still readily available at AD's and easy to find in London.

Every variant is out there.

I thought for sure the post was going to be "...and the display cases were empty."

I was in Central London today and accidentally on purpose happened across the London Rolex Boutique.

I am sure it was not intentional (That''s a lie !)

I decided that it would be a sin if I didn't pop in to see if anything caught my eye.

Well of course something did ....

I saw a DD - 118135 - Thats a Rose gold 36mm DD on Brown leather strap with a chocolate dial.

These watches have been discontinued by Rolex ... They no longer make Leather strap DD's ... Only President bracelet versions are available.

After a very nice cup of coffee that was offered to me I tried it on ..... It fitted like a glove !

I am nowadays more used to 40mm watches (Rolex Sub date and GMT II and also PP Aquanaut and Nautilus).

The 36mm looked a little small on my wrist at first but after 10 mins in the shop either it grew or my eyes changed and it looked great.

A deal was agreed and after paying I had yet another Rolex in my collection.

I have so far only taken one photo. The brown object on the DD's right side is a protective case. I keep all my watches in cases and even colour coded cases ... Every watch has a different colour case.

I keep the watches in cases for protection in the bank. I can't keep the boxes in the bank .. they are quite simply too big.

Anyway, as is customary, Here is my first picture (Not a great one as it was taken with my iPhone).

Congrats....I've always loved the look of these...i actually prefer the strap to the president bracelet .....just wish it was 40mm...if they ever do release it in 40mm oll be ip for one
