My watch
So I'm new here. The images attached are my first and only Rolex. A gift from my father. I just had it serviced and the serial number dates from 1989 or so. Any info would be appreciated.
Attached Images

Thanks I love it very much. When my dad sees me wear it he always comments on how much he likes it. He may be regretting his decision!

Geoff, I'm definitely getting the picture that you are a bold kind of guy! I'm an FSU grad, as well, but am admittedly much more conservative in my tastes. To each their own, right? Were you in a fraternity up there?

So as not to be a complete thread derail post, that's a beautiful and special DJ, OP!

I can be conservative when I need to be (court), when I don't have to be, the Allen Edmonds go away, and the fun stuff comes out. No Frat for me. Had a lot of friends go to FSU from my high school, but was friends with many greeks. Graduated in '06. Headed to Atlanta for the kickoff vs. Bama.

Beautiful watch! What info are you looking for exactly? You know the estimated year it's from and you just had it serviced, so there's your birth year and service history.

Did RSC service it? They would be able to give you some pretty good details about the watch.

Local shop did it. Just curious for any insites. It's a date. What's the difference between that and a date just?

Awesome Gold DJ OP! I'd consider getting the stretch in the bracelet fixed.
