Let's See Your OP Old and New

This 14233M was my first Rolex. I picked it up in 2004 for $4,200 I did have some time keeping issues early on which Rolex took care of. In 2011 it was sent to the RSC for a full movement service and polish. The crystal was also replaced due to a chip. The replacement crystal is marked with an "S" in the LEC. Watch keeps great time.

The watch was resized early last year and is worn proudly by my wife.

Let's see yours.

Here's my first (bought in 1999 and most recently serviced in about 2005). Keeps good time (well within COSC specs) and will never be sold:

I got mine a couple weeks ago. My first rolex. I'll never sell it. I've instructed the kids to take whatever rolex I'll be wearing when I die off my cold dead wrist and fight over them (I plan to buy at least one more - one for each son).

Why wait until they're cold?? Get it while you're still warm!

Gorgeous watch. I love the new OPs

No problem, congrats on your new pickup! Your watch looks amazing; hard to beat that dynamic blue dial, it takes on so many different shades depending on the lighting... Here's a darker look:

Hi,

Very nice ! Here's mine, a 177200 with red grape dial purchased new last Friday. It's not been off my wrist so far, definitely loving it.
