First time Rolex owner
Hi everybody:
This is my first post on this board and am glad I found it. I'm the proud owner (via a wonderful gift from my wife of 33 years) of a 41mm Rolex Datejust...the 2009 model that is 18K/SS, with a platinum-colored dial and black Roman numerals with thin, green outlines. Oyster bracelet is 18K and SS. I can't say enough about this great watch. It is not only stunning and very distinctive--it's flawless (at least so far) as a timepiece. I've always enjoyed watches as my only real "jewelry" (save for my wedding band) and have always wanted a Rolex. I don't know if I would have bought one myself--but my lovely wife saw to that! Anyway, glad to be hear and eager to read all the posts! |

Describe the "heft"
The big drawback for me in the older DJ line has been the lightweight feel on the wrist-
Does this feel heavy?
