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? |
