The Day-Date is finally here!

After a 12 week wait, my long awaited DD is finally here.

This is my first Rolex and similar to the one my first boss wore when I started working in NYC many years ago. I have wanted this one for quite some time.

I joined this forum to research my 118208 purchase and now I know this wonderful watch will be the first of at least a few.

Thanks to all and enjoy the pics.

That watch is the perfect combination for a DD.

Let's hope this is the first of PLENTY of pictures of this rare combo.

In daylight with the macro enabled, closeups will look stunning.

Wondeful look! I have seen the oyster braclet DD, but on in Platinum, not YG. Really does set the watch off, and give it a more modern look to it. I love YG with light colored faces...great choice!

Definately, PLEASE post some more good macro shots, or hire someone to take some modeling pics of her. :) It's the least you could do....haha!

Never saw that combination before - I gotta stop coming here. I can't look at my watches the same way anymore.

Great watch - I'm sure you'll get a lot of compliments when its wristed! Hey, can we see the Calatrava and the Cartier as well?
