Icon20 First Rolex & first post

Hi everyone!

I bought my first Rolex from an old friend of mine a couple of weeks ago. The watch is a Datejust 16030 which my friend originally purchased from a local AD back in 1989. It was recently serviced by the same dealer. I'm by no means an expert but I think the watch is in very good condition. The serial number starts with 98 so it was probably manufactured in late -86 or early -87. The watch is complete with box and papers and I'm a proud and happy owner of a beautiful timepiece. I also have a vintage Omega and a Breitling Superocean but the Datejust gets all the wrist time.

Best regards
P-O

Welcome dude!
That DJ is just perfect! It`s a shame they dont produce the stick markers anymore (they are lumed now) cause that is my prefered DJ dial.
Awesome, enjoy it!
