Icon19 Vintage to share

Thought I'd share a photo of my first Rolex which I still have (never sold a watch). Its a 16030 in 36mm with stainless bezel. Not the fanciest Rolex, but I enjoy it. Was a high school graduation gift....

I believe it is a 1981 model but I am not 100% sure. Has the old school plastic "crystal"....

Yes, I have never sold a watch. Its interesting to compare this watch to the new DJ41 to see how far Rolex has come.
