Finally, I'm the proud owner of a Day-Date

I've been a watch aficianado for quite some time. My best friend opened my eyes to the wonderful world of watches and since then, I've owned everything from a Rolex Sub to a Rolex Explorer to a Panerai Radiomir. But my wallet never allowed me to obtain the watch I've always coveted: The Rolex Day-Date. I'm happy to say that that changed this week, as I was able to get the rose gold Day-Date I've always wanted. I took some wrist shots with my iPhone, but only one was worthy of posting. Enjoy!

A beautiful watch, all the better a goal accomplished!!! I like the YG day-date as well and hope to get one soon. I am going to be looking for an older ref 18038 as that was the model I admired on the wrists of many of the successful men I admired as a college student.
