Hello everyone, this is my first post on rolexforum and I hope it is alright to ask this. I purchased my first Rolex today. I am very proud to have it, especially on the student budget that I am on. I bought this from a reputable local broker. It is a stainless 1603. I wouldn't be able to rate it on a percentage. It has the original bracelet. I only have 1300 in it, I think I got a heck of a deal.

Congrats

and very nice

you have a rare dial there with the fat hour markers and even rarer with the original fat hands that match, which are next to impossible to find now.

CH69 · 4 November 2011, 01:10 PM

Nice find! Congrats!

Great buy..

This is the fat stick dial which Rolex copied from the past
and you now see it in the modern DateJusts and other models.

Agree - neat piece for a very fair price. Vintage DJ are a bargain.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I look forward to learning as much as I can about everything Rolex. To be quite honest I have little to no knowledge of the particularities or scarcity of certain models. So I appreciate the information that has already been provided.

Thanks again everyone.

Welcome to a fellow Louisvillian. Good first purchase! Spend some time around here and you'll learn a lot...and have a list of about 20 models you'll want to buy.

On to more important things...how pumped are you about MKG?

Oh, and of course...

GO CATS.

I think I already have a long wish list, I'll just call it motivation. I'm very excited about the watch.

Big Blue Forever!
