Just A Short "Hi" To You Fellas...
Haven't been around here much lately due to my dying mother... family first, you know!
I did pick up something new, though... just felt like getting this one:

Thanks
I had the OP 116000 modified a bit in as much as I had the Easylink installed in the clasp... the bracelet for the 116000 doesn't come with the Easylink. Here are some more pics of the watch: Embossed coronet on the clasp unlike on the other clasps where the coronet is welded onto the clasp: Bead-blasted buckle instead of high-polished: I was lucky to get a Rolex with an "aligned" coronet on the winding crown! Some close-ups of the 3-6-9:

That was what I needed in my collection... a "dress" Rolex with a no-nonsense, "clean" dial.
My other 3 Rolex watches are currently all sports Rolex:

Haven't lost her yet. She's still alive...
... she is in great pain, though, and therefore on constant pain killers (morphine and ketogane that don't help much).

Hi Bo,
Sorry to hear about your mum. I noticed you hadn't been on the Forum and even checked your old stamping ground and didn't see you there either. Nice choice of Rolex and great pix.
