New arrival
After a couple of months of watching this forum I pulled the trigger on this RO day date. It was a tough call between this and the 15300 but am delighted with my choice. She's the new crown jewel of my collection. Thanks to all for the enthusiasm and education! Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1344365071.422560.jpg Views: 342 Size: 57.0 KB

Just stunning! One of my favorite versions of the RO. Years ago I had the 36mm version in steel and gold. A truly great piece and I like it even more in the 39mm case. If I get another RO in the future it would either be a black dial RO Day Date or the chronograph. Both are really fantastic watches. It looks great on you. Enjoy it and wear it in good health!

Looks great. Congrats! Didn't know that this model is nicknamed the owl, and that's such a perfect name for it.
