My resolve has the breaking strength of a chocolate bar, earlier this month, on this very forum,I stated that enough was enough, I had just purchased my last. No more Rolex watches. In the hidden depths of my mind I had thought that one day I might get a TT, and that whitefaced Oysterquatz, would fit nicely with my small Datejust collection, and then I saw this beauty offered for sale, at what I felt was a reasonable price, one I could afford, and three days later, its here, on my wrist and looking splendid. That's it now, I'm done, 7's enough, one for each day of the week. Just one question though, having an odd number, isn't that unlucky............?

Nice acquisition. Looks perfect in your collection. You just had to do it! Have a cocktail and enjoy

Nice set, huge congrats

(7 is a lucky number

Wish I'd bought the OQ when offered one in 1987. (Was also offered the Sub too.) Got an Oyster Perpetual Date instead.
Still made a good choice, though.

Horrific how you have been tricked into another great looking watch. Its not a easy life sometimes! 8 is a lucky number in China, and hence guess a "last one" should balance it out nicely!

Enjoy that beauty and wear in good health!!

Cambo · 26 April 2021, 08:55 AM

That’s a great watch! Love the bracelet. Congrats.
P.S. there’s always room for one more

CHRONOLEX · 26 April 2021, 08:56 AM

At least you have no problem finding them!!

Robf52 · 26 April 2021, 12:08 PM

You need another; according to The Beatles, 8 days a week.

garyk · 26 April 2021, 12:35 PM

8 means good luck!

Congratulations

In some cultures 13 is a lucky number

alweisenberger · 26 April 2021, 09:25 PM

you can get 2 more, 8 to fill a watch box, and a 9th to wear :)

Brich436 · 26 April 2021, 09:34 PM

Very nice collection of datejusts.... lets see the 1016 mixed in there!

With all the focus on the sport models I think the datejust (especially in 36mm) gets overlooked as one of the most classic watches out there.

Beautiful time piece sir! Great add to the collection.

And btw.......you are probably not done nor ever will be
