Hello,

It has arrived 4 hours ago ;)

Robb · 18 August 2007, 10:50 PM

Congrats!

leopardprey · 18 August 2007, 10:53 PM

Very nice and I am sure very comfortable!!!!!!!!!!! Really like the Dial and Engineer Bezel!

Prince · 18 August 2007, 11:04 PM

Beautiful DJ. Very subtle and elegant.

Antonio · 19 August 2007, 12:30 AM

I had a bad moment with the camera :(

Here goes a pic, that looks a bit better ;)

Dan Pierce · 19 August 2007, 12:35 AM

Congrats, love the DateJust. Perfect watch for many occasions.

Fantastic Antonio! Congrats and enjoy it

Antonio · 19 August 2007, 12:56 AM

And... here goes the last pic, with 0% light

Looks like the dial is really fresh, using Tritium. I think between 8-10 years. The tritium of the hands is probably +20, since the ZnS is totally oxydized, plus the tritum with lass than 2 half lifes, IMO.

marshallr47 · 19 August 2007, 03:53 AM

Geat classic watch. Congrats on the purchase. Wear it with pride.

JJ Irani · 19 August 2007, 03:55 AM

Classic vintage with the lug holes on the case. Wear it with pride and joy!!

Tip of the day!!!!

If you are using your camera with a flash in macro mode , try a bit of white tissue paper
in front of the flash as it acts as a diffuser so you cut out the strong reflection off the
glass.

Hello Julian,

thats really useless with this flash. I need to take almost 5 pages of a book to make a good photo. Next ones I will do with natural light ;)

Antonio, that watch looks great, but I'm with you, in macro mode it takes me forever to get a decent shot and then it still looks much worse than in person.

That is a sharp watch.

Hello Interested, what camera do you use?

From a Longines Ultra-Chron of 36,000 beats!

No problem, Antonio. I am glad that you got the right thing.

BiG JeEzY · 19 August 2007, 06:47 AM

That is a nice, classic vintage watch with the acrylic crystal still on there!

I really like the dial color and bezel on there too, it is a great combination. You have great taste Arturo.

Enjoy that beauty in the very best of health!

Nice pictures too! For tritium on the hour markers, they are still glowing pretty bright.

Is not as bright in real like in the pic. It has a exposition of +30 seconds if I remember right.

Here goes one ;)

Looks cool, Antonio!

I hope it's not gaining 30+, that DJ!

Anyway, I once owned a DJ 16234 (WG bezel) with a blue dial exactly like yours.

My AD had a very old dial from the 1960ies or 70ies that I had put on the DJ, since I liked the "early" features of it:

1) Raised/pronounced middle section of the hour markers
2) ½-second divisions between the second markers.

You got a REALLY nice dial there for a 1986 DJ!

Antonio · 19 August 2007, 10:52 AM

30+ is too low I think, In +13 hours it has gained/losed +-0 compared with my fresh quartz watch ;)

Btw, I confused the serials between the sellers! This one is from the ends of 1981, and the dial is a brand new one from January of this years, with Tritium on it.

The dial MUST be a NOS (New Old Stock) dial then, because:

1) Rolex would not make Tritium dials today
2) Rolex does not make those dials with ½-second markers anymore, and also not these kind of hour markers

Period!

SSD · 20 August 2007, 12:30 AM

That dial, and the rest of the watch, are SHARP! Congrats, Antionio! You've got one fantastic timepiece!

Flyjet601 · 20 August 2007, 12:53 AM

enjoy it. A classic

Antonio · 20 August 2007, 12:59 AM

+28 hours and... lost less than 1 second compared with a quartz!

That isnt bad, right?

Thank you all,

Antonio
