Here's to you, JJ.
JJ, your 'perpetual' enthusiasm and zest for Rolex watches have really rubbed off on me, in a big way.

Not that I wasn't enjoying my Rolex watches before, it's just that now I see each and everyone of them in my collection in a whole different light. Now I can feel the affection, the avidity, and the fervor whenever I put a Rolex on my wrist, and whenever I take a glance at it. (I can't believe I'm saying all this ). Moreover, for me to have set aside some time to take close up photos like the ones below, it just never happened before. It was nonexistent.

So let me dedicate these photos to you, JJ. Let me also use this thread to congratulate you on your gorgeous TT GMT and to respond to your Maxi Dial thread. I hope my GMT is Maxi Dial enough to qualify.

Enjoy the photos, JJ and all my TRF friends.

WOW!! I feel truly flattered, Michael.......thanks a lot.

That is one gorgeous hunk of 18K gold - absolutely superb!!

And, yes, it definitely qualifies as a MAXI dial - hope you are enjoying it as much as I do mine!!

Best wishes - JJ

What a stunning watch, and a great tribute to our beloved JJ. I love the green dial which contrasts so well with the gold. Thank you for the pictures Michael.
