I gave up caring what others think of me. Mostly what I'm wearing. I've been wearing a yg DD for years and years. I like it , key word "I"

Thank you for this.

Oh I agree it is a bold statement: I guess what I am asking, is if that statement was put into words, what do you think it would say?

Yes, but what is the substance of the statement?

If you're not turning into the Dos Equis guy, then I would suggest you take your Rolex to a jeweler and have the movement checked to see if the watch is genuine.

The statement, the message or whatever that perception can be called have more effect on the watch wearer / owner than on others.

Wearing a Rolex is a statement itself.

Vintage Rolex without tritium?

I have a 1966 Oyster Perpetual that contains no tritium at all: no plots, and nothing on the hands. I am curious as to how rare this is? Did they ever make Datejust or Day/Date's without tritium?
