Just Happened Across This Last Night....
I ran across this here in AD and just had to bring it home. An F series, a quick clean-up and polish and voila! I've wanted one of these for well over 12 years, always something different presented itself. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks, came with the box, papers dated 2005. Never been opened or polished, looks like it was never worn. Came with a full Oyster bracelet, I swapped for a Jubilee I had at home. Quick check for accuracy and it's running spot on. Sometimes things work out pretty good.

Nicely converted to the Jubilee, most DJs (but not all) do look better with the Jubilee in my opinion.

Does it have the roulette wheel with red odd numbered dates? In think this model usually does.

Enjoy it.

Thanks, I like both Oyster and Jubilee on this one, just trying out the Jubilee for now, it's NOS so really dresses up the watch. Besides, there's a "Jubilee deficiency" around here :-). The date wheel has all black numbers, would really like the roulette, we'll see down the road.

Nice pick up! With them being discontinued if you find a new old stock like that you gotta get it. Congratulations!

My first exposure to Rolex and the watch that I grew up with was my father's late 50's tt TOG. I still think that bezel is a classic. Congratulations.

Thanks for all the kind words. Just a quick disclaimer, the Jubilee bracelet is new (NOS) and really dresses up the watch. The original Oyster bracelet, which I really like on this watch, is near new with all the links. The head is very close but not NOS. Still super clean though, OEM finish intact, and zero buyers remorse. Quite the contrary, this has been on my grail list for far too many years. Thanks again.
