What a nice classic watch... congrats!

Thani · 14 January 2008, 07:40 AM

nice watch congrats and welcome to trf

Leighton · 14 January 2008, 07:59 AM

Wow, that's a beauty, Louisa! Nice photos!

portable75 · 14 January 2008, 08:03 AM

Nice!

watchloverdave · 14 January 2008, 08:21 AM

Nice photos and beautiful watch. I love the bracelet! Very classy. :)

Chris B · 14 January 2008, 08:23 AM

YG with the black dial is so classy

SPACE-DWELLER · 14 January 2008, 08:34 AM

Wow, that is one stunning timepiece!

Congrats!

I like the red Rolex box, too! I would have expected it to come in a green box. But the red one and the outer box are of the older style. Not bad, at all, on the contrary! The old boxes are much cooler than the new ones, IMHO.

Robb · 14 January 2008, 08:37 AM

Very nice!!!

DoxaDavid · 14 January 2008, 08:50 AM

Very good looking piece and welcome to the forum as well.

Very nice, congrats.

love those big stick dials.

Bama · 14 January 2008, 09:55 AM

Beautiful watch. I'm looking at buying a DJ myself and am trying to decide on which style.

Gaijin · 14 January 2008, 09:57 AM

Beauty!

kcmo · 14 January 2008, 10:02 AM

Congrats on that beauty!

Cyberpipm2000 · 14 January 2008, 10:05 AM

I love how all of the new rolex's today look so much more solid than the past models... That hidden clasp really sets that watch off.

unclesallie · 14 January 2008, 10:18 AM

man, that's one beoootiful watch! congrats!
best,dan

Your Datejust is a real beauty! I wish my two-tone had a dark dial like that instead of the champagne. It would be easier to read and the newer solid link bracelet is so much classier looking. Nice watch!!!

Prince · 15 January 2008, 02:03 AM

Beautiful Datejust! Congratulations on a fine pickup!!

Thanks Bo, the watch was bought Dec 07 from an authorised dealer new. The serial number starts with an F so I think I was told i t's a 2005 model. Do you know if it is normal for an AD to sell a 2 year old watch as new? I know this sounds stupid but I don't know the norm when it comes to selling Rolexs and I take it they don't sell them everyday. The jewellers had to get this in from another store.

SPACE-DWELLER · 15 January 2008, 07:58 AM

Yes, that is seen quite often, Luisa. But it is more unusual to get that box you got, but as I state, be very happy with it. Very nice box - and watch - indeed!

Strictly taken, though, your watch would need service in 3 years - and not in the normal 5 years - since it is 2 years old at the time of purchase. But frankly I don't see this as any problem. The new synthetic oils don't get stiff as easily as the old-type oils did. And during the first 2 years, no wear of the parts will have taken place since it must have only been running on an occasional basis.

Agreed...even the ladies versions look like tanks. Some of the older models look a little frail.

Congrats

Lisa · 15 January 2008, 08:59 AM

Pretty watch - and that black dial exudes elegance!

jtvision · 15 January 2008, 10:36 AM

Whats up with the lower right hand corner of the crown on the dial?
Perhaps its only the photography?

ratae1950 · 15 January 2008, 12:32 PM

Lovely! Functional, Elegant and Understated.

Orchi · 15 January 2008, 01:54 PM

Err buddy Louisa...welcome to the forum...

That's a beautiful 179173 Lady Datejust...ya really got great taste...

Oh btw...it's even nice to see that you are wearing it tightly at the right spot higher from your wrist.
