GolfPunk · 7 December 2013, 02:50 AM

They've both finally arrived!!

anilzat · 7 December 2013, 03:02 AM

Can't go wrong with that choice, a really great watch.

elcompa · 7 December 2013, 03:25 AM

Congratulations!!! Im so jealous. Good for you. I want to do this too as soon as I find the right thing. The search may be long.

The birth year Rolex hunt is on!!!!!!!

nick c · 7 December 2013, 04:45 AM

Great idea well done both

eeh100773 · 7 December 2013, 05:41 AM

A birth year Rolex (1973 for me!) is on my bucket list as well - and the 1601 is a real beauty! I saw one for ~$4,000, it had a Tiffany dial but was a case only, no bracelet...bummer.

Congrats!!!!!

sea-dweller · 7 December 2013, 11:21 AM

Having had the Datejust (I've not worn it yet) for a few weeks, I've decided two tone isn't for me, so I've purchased a 1972 Datejust in SS with white roman dial, more my taste!!

This means I'll now begrudgingly have to sell the two tone datejust, Shame because it's immaculate and much better condition that the SS Roman.

Here's the new one:

Hi...I was the OP of this thread but as mentioned above the whole two tone thing never quite sat well with me...I prefer steel, white gold or platinum. Therefore I've sold both the TT Datejust and the TT Lady Date and have bought myself a birth year 1972 Datejust and just bought my wife a birth year 1974 (surprise for her 40th In May)...here they are:

Both have been serviced, overhauled and polished and are amazingly looking like new!!

Sorry to have been so fussy, I love the look of TT but wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it!

bluemartinifan · 10 February 2014, 05:36 AM

Great pair of DJs and something you can share together for a long time

Oboema Sesetokoe · 14 February 2014, 06:30 AM

Congrats!

I did the same last year. This 1601 in roségold, 1977, 36mm for my 36th birthday.
