Since I had my setup all ready to go, I also took some photos of my daily watch, which, as you will see, has the tell tail signs of usual wear.

Great looking watch and nice pics...especially the crown in the crystal. Very difficult to get a good photo of that sucker!

Terrific watch. People talk about the Air-King and the Datejust being the oldest Rolex names in the catalogue (from 1945), but that one goes right back to the mid 1930s really. You've made me think seriously about hunting one down.

I bought mine new - but on the used market it's great bang per buck! All around a fantastic watch - very stealth and subtle. Coming up on two years of ownership - only a few people have noticed it. That's what drew me to the watch.

I just purchased one and received it this weekend. A bit different with graphics; I really like it a lot.

Huge fan of the 116000. Screams class and toughness at the same time. Love it. Want to get one myself. Had one years ago.

Real understated beauties here! Love both dials, but the photography on the silver dial is outstanding!
