A Quick Trip Down Memory Lane... Incoming Prelude...
Quote:
Late last year Evil Bendy and I had a public fight that led to this... Recap... (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=268219)  Shortly after, I took a trip to Egypt to uncover an ancient mystery... Recap... (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=274663)   Upon my trip back from Eqypt, I got bit by some mysterious Venom... Recap... (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=273526)  I have not posted any incoming threads recently, however, there have been other references within the Rolex family to have entered my modest collection...  Hanging around folks from Christies and Patek collecters, I have decided that I wanted to keep things simple and a bit classy...

Simple and classy - but nice to know you have the bling for those 'just in case' moments.
Love the RR! |

I'm too thinking DJ, but since you already have one I'm gonna guess DJ II this time.

I am not going to say anything Sam....I know what it is as I have hacked into your account and conversations like you said on QC's thread.
 But congrats, it's a beauty.

Some interesting guesses thus far...
Stickers are off my 218235 ;-)  Yet still remain on my 326135 :-D  I am a fan of the Datejust, however, think I'm ok in that department! ;-)   Hopefully some of these romantic pictures will whet your appetite until I unveil... If you ladies and gents are genuine fans of historical references I think you will enjoy this ride...  ..........................
