If I won the lotto...

Just kidding, this is my Uncle's vintage Day Date with a jubilee dial. Fantastic watch, beautiful dial.

Let me know if you guys want to see more, there's a tridor, reversos, a Yacht Master and some Buchers, LeCoultres.

Here you go Sink, don't see this one too often. I think it's a midsize:

Idle Swede · 22 February 2010, 01:49 PM

Great looking DD Kyle.

Never seen a Tridor DJ, is that a bracelet swap?

JohnBoy · 22 February 2010, 01:49 PM

BOTH VERY NICE!

You are taking watch photography to a new level on TRF, Kyle. Great stuff!

No, I believe it's actually original.

Hmmm, I thought the Tridor bracelet only came on the DD?

I just googled this one up, this is the ladies version:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=263602_263622

My watchmaker also had a tridor DJ, but those are the only two I have actually seen in real life.

jlopicco · 22 February 2010, 01:55 PM

Great pics! what about the rest of them? I would love to see the YM especially

Idle Swede · 22 February 2010, 01:58 PM

Interesting.

ParisDakarBmw · 22 February 2010, 02:00 PM

That's a sharp watch!

tomyum111 · 22 February 2010, 02:04 PM

Actually it was indoors, the lighting was kind of yellow.

Idle Swede · 22 February 2010, 02:07 PM

Kyle,

Any idea how old the DJ is?

Is that the original dial?

I can't tell you how old it is, but I'm guessing 10+ years. He purchased this a while ago. It is the original dial, I've seen it before at my watchmaker's as well.

Strange that it has modern settings on an older dial?

You would think it had MIR settings on that dial?

Never the less, it's a gorgeous watch.

Not that important to me Kyle but I think it has added on diamonds.

Notice how nice I am by saying "added".

Alright Leo, you are the diamond master.

It's a possibility that he may have changed the dial in the past or he bought it like that, but I do not know. When did the style of the diamond markers change?

Don't remember exactly what year and Sweden - Finland starts soon so I don't have time to look it up.

Here you can see what I mean.

mpkRolex · 22 February 2010, 03:14 PM

Hi Kyle, Can you tell me what camera you have?

TheBluePrince · 22 February 2010, 09:10 PM

Very nice. I was thinking about treating myself to a DD for my 30th b'day but realsied i'm not quite old enough imo. Maybe when i'm 35...

HL65 · 22 February 2010, 09:29 PM

Kyle--love the photos on your blog--you are a great photographer!!!

marke · 22 February 2010, 11:03 PM

kyle

Tridors are actually quite rare and becoming a collectors piece, maybe you should try and keep that one to be a big brother for your explorer.

Ps. you take some excellents pictures, congrats

chrislkb · 22 February 2010, 11:56 PM

Kyle, you always take a good macro shots of timepieces! Talented skills you have there. I like the computer dial but solid gold is too "senior" for me!

Over here in Asia, its favoured among seniors, aging businessmen, gangsters, etc who wear solid gold Rolexs. Some part of Asia, you get yr hand chopped off in unsavoury places if you flaunt it...

Good pixs from you always

Could be Sink but they're not baguettes.
