Yep, sounds like you've got a great couple of other Rolex models in your viewfinder! In the meantime, you enjoy your gorgeous Day-Date! ;-)

I have worn it three times, and felt very conspicuous and a bit ostentatious with it on my wrist. It looks and feels great but maybe I worked it up in my mind too much to ever really enjoy wearing it versus just "having it".

This is my grail watch too.

My Day/Date has been sitting its box for a while now, Had my Tag Heuer stolen a few weeks ago :(

That's a real shame, James - I can understand how attached you were to it.

Not to worry, going to sell my day date and find a replacement :)

TempoKing · 29 February 2012, 07:28 AM

Actually this one was made in 1985, why is the year 1985 so important you'll ask..?
Well, 1985 is the 75 years of Rolex existence (1910-1985) hence their Jubilee year !
The watch came with this commemorative Royal or Electric blue Jubilee dial
created especially for the Jubillee celebrations.

And the dial on the DDII with Romans still looks huge in real life - it's an enormous face to behold!

Hey, you're welcome ;-) I always try to be positive and complimentary on TRF and there are some fabulous Day-Dates on this thread, including, of course, yours ;-)

I'm still trying to back track and find the meteorite dial model - I'm only on my iPhone, at the moment, so it may take a little time ;-)
