Posted this on the gallery page, but mahybe makes more sense here.

So, here's my first Rolex purchase ever. I'm pretty excited, though it looks terrible right now.

I also bought this gen dial, which will go into the watch.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Should clean up nicely.

Thanks!

Congratulatios and welcome to TRF!

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 07:16 AM

Thanks. It's always been my dream to own a Rolex. Even though it's pretty weak compared to those on here, it's a start, and I think it'll look good.

This watch is an absolute classic, and the new dial should look great in it. Congratulations!

Enjoy it! I don't think it's weak by any standards

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 07:23 AM

Thanks lebowski.. that means a lot, esp given the stunner in your avatar!

general · 6 March 2012, 07:24 AM

There is no such standards. You buy what you like and can afford. Thant's all that matters. Buying your first Rolex is a gateway to more purchases so don't sweat it.

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 07:25 AM

something I didn't consider, but was just mentioned.. this dial should fit, no?

floater156 · 6 March 2012, 07:41 AM

Congrats!

pdeeming · 6 March 2012, 07:56 AM

Nice watch, where did you get it.

Paul

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 07:59 AM

thanks, got it on eBay for $1435.

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 07:59 AM

the dial I got for $125, which I thought was a nice deal for a gen dial

Baronrojo · 6 March 2012, 08:03 AM

Congrats. That looks like water damage...if you haven't done so you need to get that watch checked out by a watchmaker.

Christiaan · 6 March 2012, 08:04 AM

DON'T GET RID OF THOSE HANDS!!!! Dauphine hands are wonderful and hopefully someone can clean them up and "restore" them a little.

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 08:05 AM

The auction said that the movement was tested and in very good condition, watch has been pressure tested.. seller has very good feedback.

nick c · 6 March 2012, 08:05 AM

Enjoy

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 08:08 AM

Christiaan.. you got it!

Based on the name on the pics I wouldn't worry about the seller as he wrote this:

He has a great store and is a very nice person.

sixers_610 · 6 March 2012, 08:10 AM
