My First Rolex!
Pulled the trigger on a shiny new DateJust today!
With my wife at a conference in Banff, I drove into Calgary and stopped in at Brinkhaus. Excellent service from Jim. He happily showed me his selection and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Very professional and did not beat around the bush with pricing. We actually live in Edmonton and I had stopped in at GemOro a week earlier. Service and overall experience is much better at Brinkhaus, hands down. I can see why so many people drive down to Calgary to buy their watches! |

Great watch. In my opinion Datejust is the best overall Rolex there is. Also Datejust got lot of choices if you ever feel like chaining the dial and get a whole new look on your Datejust. Congratulations!

Beautiful DJ - the silver stick would be my dial pick too. Very classy yet sporty & understated at the same time.
