My new Rolex

Hi all,

I am now part of the Rolex family, both here and in my own family! I have a midnight blue DateJust with the oyster band.....it is a 1997 model. Here are some pictures of it along with my dad's DateJust with Jubilee band and my brother's Seamaster.








Any feedback would be great! I am excited to learn more about the Rolex world.

Hello, Tyler. Welcome to TRF. Very nice grouping there.

BTW, I assume you meant your brother's GMT Master IIc. The Seamaster is an Omega and the one in the middle is definitely not a Seamaster.

As soon as I clicked the button to post, I realized my mistake. Thanks for clarifying for me!
In my defense though, he does have a Omega Seamaster in his collection, along with the pictured GMT Master.

Very nice dial! The fluted bezel - oyster bracelet combo is starting to grow on me.

Thanks for the kind words.....my brother mentioned that the magnification looked a little off, but the jeweler confirmed that is it accurate. Does anyone think it looks off?
