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

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 ;-)
