1st Rolex

I purchased this about a month ago, thought I would post it on here. It's a Datejust Ref. 1603, with a 5.2 million serial number dating back to 1977. Hopefully this will be the first in a great collection!

Congrats... I think the markers on this dial are Silver. There is a term for this dial but I can't remember.

Great watch. Even if that was your one and only Rolex it is a great one. Get it serviced and keep as original as possible

Jon: You just purchased a Rolex classic in the DateJust. If this Rolex will be the only one you will ever own, you made a great purchase. Enjoy the watch and welcome to the "club."
