Adsty: What year is your vintage Rolex? What is the story behind it?

Gererdo: That is one sharp looking watch. Really like the Roman Numerals and the white face!

GMT16750: That is some Character on that watch! Stories? How long have you had it? What have you put it through? How has it held up?

That smooth bezel looks much better.

You think so, Andrew? Always wondered which one appealed more. On the newer DJs, the smooth SS bezel is more rounded and looks pretty cool.

In any case, one can save a thousand dollars or so just by opting for the smooth SS bezel as opposed to the WG fluted one.

Yes JJ, I really do think the smooth bezels look better than the fluted ones. Just my opinion. But no matter what, a DJ can never beat a Sub in the looks department.

Well, in all fairness to the DJs, I won't entirely agree on that one, Andrew.

I do like the newer DJs....especially on Jubilee. I think they do look very classy as well as dressy. Unfortunaely, the only drawback is the 36 mm size which one with large wrists has to get used to.

Hey, Andrew, tell me one thing....do you have to make any alterations or adjustments to your SUB bracelets out of box?

Thanks - JJ

JJ,
Yes. I have to have one link removed and the clasp extended one spot.
