So I've been creeping these forums for some time, but finally decided to pull the trigger on my first Rolex. Couldn't be more exited and just wanted to share a photo! Would appreciate any thoughts, good or bad comments welcome.

Dr. Robert · 30 January 2020, 04:03 PM

A classic. Congratulations!

Scapegoat · 30 January 2020, 04:07 PM

This is a damn cool watch!

darthgman · 30 January 2020, 04:14 PM

Oh man I love it. So unique. Congrats!

Rori · 30 January 2020, 04:17 PM

This is the first time I see this reference. Does Rolex still makes it?

So Chic · 30 January 2020, 06:33 PM

Congrats !
Do you have any idea of the year ?

gleiden · 30 January 2020, 06:34 PM

That's nice. Makes a change from all the black or white Daytonas every day.

Orange, black and white is a killer colour combo. What's the ref?

Ian Macdermott · 30 January 2020, 07:25 PM

Congratulations on a great looking watch

Alex71168 · 30 January 2020, 07:26 PM

Cor. That's different. Congratulations.

Titan Uranus Sun · 31 January 2020, 07:02 AM

Thank you all for the kind words. I couldn't be happier with it, hope to be more of a contributor to this community. Ref 116034, I believe it's discontinued from 2009 or so. It was sitting in the display area of my local AD and the lady there said she's never seen another one like it. Actually to that point, I'm curious if anyone can answer a question in regards to the lume. It doesn't seem to pick up much of (if any) a charge from artificial light and is barely visible in the dark. With it sitting in the display case for so many years, is there any possibility of the lume degrading under that constant bright light?

trfChris · 31 January 2020, 07:34 AM

Congratulations! That’s a very cool and unique dial!

Geckobros · 31 January 2020, 08:48 AM

You don't see many of those, well done.

Watchflair · 31 January 2020, 08:51 AM

Very wild piece - congratulations!

kieselguhr · 31 January 2020, 09:07 AM

Congratulations! Even this dial got the 05 that the air king didn’t

Try acclimating your eyes to a dark environment for a few minutes (pitch black is best). Charge the lume on the dial either with a hi lumen flashlight or a high lumen uv light. Compare to other watches if you can

ferrissteve11 · 31 January 2020, 09:42 AM

Ahh the HD Rolex reference. Not a common one seen around here. Congrats on the first !!

TruthBalance · 31 January 2020, 09:47 AM

Interesting piece, congrats!

GoingPlaces · 31 January 2020, 09:52 AM

Nice piece, could dial. Enjoy and congrats!
