My first Rolex, a '57 6605 Datejust!

This is my first post. Just wanted to show pics of my new baby, a 6605 Datejust from the year 1957 with a roulette date wheel. I love vintage, and had the Tudor as my daily wearer, but the black with an alligator strap looks top!

Thanks for letting me share!

nice watch.. I would love to see it with a distressed leather band. I think it would be a perfect match for that vintage Rollie

Replaced dial and hands, better off with a 160x series

Yes, but at least it's a very attractive early gilt service dial. Too bad that they changed to baton hands though. I much prefer alpha hands...
