My Day Date is from the 60's....maybe 64?
so that would make it..................................46 years old, it doesn't lose time as far as I can tell, but I am sure I haven't been paying enough attention!

question now is are Rolexes today built with the same quality materials as they were back in the day. If appatently it costs 30000 to restore a DD from the 60's, then something smells fishy, no?
