I think I've been infected
by the Rolex bug..... I'm a newbie from Florida looking for some guidance. I've pretty much decided that I'd like to get a SS Datejust with Blue stick dial and would prefer the new Jubilee band. Local AD has a new one for about $4200 and there are quite a few on Fleabay.....but this one in particular caught my eye....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT So my questions are as follows: Is Interwatches as reputable as they appear? Does any see any issues with this Watch? Should I be concerned buying a Rolex of this vintage? And Any other guidance you'd like to offer this newbie? Thanks in advance for the help Go Gators!!!! Frank |

Well the DJ is 36mm, as you probably know.
A vintage DJ is very nice. I like the 1601 model with the fluted bezel. The model in your e-bay link is fine, but I would suggest you get a DJ with either the 1570/5 vintage movement or the modern 3135 movement. It is always good to get the original Rolex paperwork with your watch. You know there is a new DJ called the DateJustII which has just been released (quite expensive) but it is 41mm in size. Good Luck and welcome
