Its Nikons most versatile 18-200mm VR lens. Most of the shots taken are not at full zoom. The amazing thing about this lens is that it focuses at a short distance of about 5 inches from the front element, even at full zoom!

It came from Rolex like that?
Mine has the upside down Roman numerals as well, factory original (I know because I ordered it with that dial!).

One thing I noticed is the hands have the luminous sections yet the dial does not; was the dial replaced?

Either way, a beautiful DD!

Not sure if the dial was changed.. maybe / maybe not.. I'm not the least bit concerned as long as all is from rolex.. thanks guys for the superb comments.. I will post some pics later with another one of my favourite straps for this watch.. Its a tan crocodile that I also got from 'lonestar' watches.

Although I'm not a fan of gold Rolexes, I must admit your Day Date on leather looks absolutely superb, much nicer than the bracelet version, IMO.
