New member from Sweden with RG Day-Date 118235

Just registered here and thought I might share some pics of my 36mm Rolex Day-date 118235 with rare for this model, oyster bracelet.
The watch is from 2007 and it got the brown wave dial + its fitted with a Swedish day wheel.

Pics were taken with my wife's Iphone 5 and a gadget called Olloclip which helps take macro shots. Due to the Olloclip the watch might look a bit bigger in some pics, then what it is in reality.

Here is a pic of the gadget:



The watch:

Could be the photos, but it looks like the case lugs and bezel are heavily polished.

True. The brown color is really great. Goes well with any brown dress shoes, which is great in my case since I wear a lot of brown dress shoes for work.
The Oyster bracelet also makes the watch looks less feminim.
The dial kinda reminds a bit of the brown Skydweller dial.
Might also be cool to switch the dial to a black one with stick markers in the future...

What a gorgeous watch! The more I see rose gold with a brown dial, the more I like the combination.

Was a bit on the fence on getting rose gold but I must say it def looks modern and cool. Especially when wearing blue or white, which matches the RG color great!
