It's Rolex Time... Mon 28th, 10:10:31

I'm posting this just a bit late, I finally got my digital camera that shoots macro last night and wanted to post on Official Rolex time and date:



I'll shoot a few more and post in a bit, I'm still learning how the camera works and I have no "soft lights" yet...

Please post your photo of Official Rolex time: Monday the 28th, 10:10:31

A Day Date would be great

No hacking involved. Just lightning quick reflexes.

Like a Ninja, but slower.

I love the meteroite dial Daytona even if I sold all of my Rolex watches I still could not buy one. That is my grail watch. I think it is around $23,000 am I right or way off?
My AD says there is no shortage of them and if I had the green he could get one to me within 24 hours.
