Icon20 Lucky Duty free purchase

Recently after abit of back and forth I got lucky to purchase a dj36 blue dial fluted jubilee at duty free price! What a day that was!

I was wondering if anyone else has had lucky in duty free ad’s and if so what pieces!

Happy days to all!

Nice score! Blue fluted dial DJ36 is a beauty! I've been asking my local AD for one of those, but no luck as of yet. I have yet to even see one in person! A big congrats on getting one. Enjoy!

Having struggles uploading a photo I’ll keep trying, very happy and feeling very lucky, originally wanted the 41 then asked about 36mm and bingo

Hope to travel later this year, would certainly grab a DJ36 if I found one. (Wife says "No more Rolex" but dammit.... I'll give her one more if I feel like it! )

If anyone can give me tips on taking a iPhone photo and resizing it to fit specifications to upload that would be great!

Download Tapatalk and access therolexforum from it. You can also download an app called imageresize6 and upload the resized photo but it will reduce the quality of the photo drastically

Here you can find some solutions:

I think, the 3. solution is a nice trick, and an easy to use solution, but IMO the 2. solution will be the perfect one for you.
