Hi All

I have a wonderful 1803 but at the moment it is in a different country, I must admit I am missing it, but have other Rolex with me to wear.

Are there any differences between DD watches from 1975 to 1995? Someone told me pre 1990 DD watches did not have a solid gold bracelet(hollow).

This should be interesting.

My birth year is Nov 1964

That's a good baseline to start.

Those younger can now post their age.

Well they say what goes around comes around

Now after many years owning & wearing some of the most beautiful watches, it has been my privilege to wear.

A few days before Christmas, I bought this lovely 9 year old DD, that a good friend of mine who happens to be an AD was selling on behalf of another client.

It was always an ambition as a teenager into adulthood of mine to own such a beautiful watch. Back then It had to be Y/G, have a champagne dial sitting on a President bracelet.

So, back in 1999 when I was 41, I happened to be walking past the said AD who had a pre owned DD that fulfilled all my criteria's. So 3 hours later it was sitting on my wrist.

But then what did Rolex do, a few months later, they changed the bracelet as well as which parts of the watch was polished & which parts where not.

I was now completely hooked, so after a bit of wheeling & dealing my AD agreed to buy back the old DD, at the same price, that he sold it. And I walked away with a brand spanking new DD.

Several years later, I again updated the DD for a new one, which had the slightly modified clasp.

Ironically, all apart from the 1st DD were purchased around Christmas time!

Now fast forward to today, I again am the proud owner of a DD.

The only difference being, is now the dial is white, why, because it's easier to read!

Apologise, for the poor phone photos, but I took them during the wee early hours of Christmas morning, while I was at work.




PS, I always think that Y/G suits hairy arms better, what do you think

How does the day get to be at the bottom of the dial?

Am I hallucinating?

I LOL'd. I still flinch a little when I see someone wearing a watch on their right hand, but my own mother was afflicted with the same condition - "left-handed" they call it.

I am sort of obsessed with getting a Day-Date with a foreign-language day.
