The sun is setting in Sweden part 3-with white gold Day-date 1803!
Finishing my "Day-date-sunset-photo-trilogy" with some pics of the last Day-date in my collection, the white gold 1803 from 1973 (the pics are taken outside my house on two different sunset-occasions)

This is in my honest opinion the most beautiful watch Rolex ever have made. It's just out of this world stunning!

Here are the previous threads:

Damn, just gorgeous, and a vintage champ at that. That's what timeless means right there.

I love my 1803 in yellow gold from 1972 a lot. Funny but the lume still works well enough for me to read it in dark settings. Not true with my '86 DJ. Out of curiosity I was wondering if yours works as well. Our dials are relatively similar.
