My first Rolex

I've been on the lookout for the right Datejust for a while.
When I saw this one, I had to have it.
Unfortunately it's been wrapped ready for Christmas.
Stainless Datejust with a jubilee bracelet, white gold bezel and a silver Diamond dot dial.

Many thanks guys and gals, I can't wait to get my hands on my new watch come Christmas Day.

I've checked out the Serial number and it's got a T serial. If the table I was looking at is correct that puts it at 1996.
The same age as my middle son and a year younger than my trusty Omega SMP.

A DJ is a great place to start in the Rolex world. Sadly it won't be your last!!

You can always unwrap it and wear it while she's asleep.
