My First Rolex!!! Pics attached!
 

Hey guys, I have been on this forum the past few months and have been reading many of the useful information that's on here to complete my first Rolex purchase.

I decided on a Rose Gold and SS Datejust Turn-o-graph! (D Serial 2006-2007)

I am so proud to own this beatiful watch and I cannot stop looking at it! It is just absolutely like no other watch I have ever owned or seen.
There Really is something about a Rolex that just sets them apart from other watches upon first glance. The band and case are just so gorgeous along with the dial (which looks matte or gloss black in the pictures but it is actually like a slate black!:thumbsup: LOVE IT.)

Being a first Rolex owner I do have a few short questions that I would greatly appreciate if anyone can chime in here

1.) How often do you polish your watch with something like a cape cod polishing cloth? I heard these work really well and I was wondering if polishing the watch too often with one could cause damage? Of course there are already some micro-hairline scratches starting to appear.

2.) Since this is an 06-07 model, how soon should I get it serviced? I'm pretty sure it's keeping perfect time but I have not had it long enough to see what its + or - is. Also, how much does regular service cost at the RSC (regular maintenance, polishing - which I heard they make it like new, and also adjustments)

3. The clasp release seems to just be 'hanging' against the rest of the band, I mean it is secured, but if I push on it it seems to bump into the bracelet. Is this normal or is my clasp broke? (I don't remember how it was at my AD with the other turn-o-graphs I tried. Furthermore to explain this, if I have the watch unbuckled and off, it seems as though the clasp release does not have any resistance on it; meaning I can sway it back and forth. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Also, not sure if anyone can tell in the last pic there seems to be some stuff on the clasp, any idea how to get it off? It didn't come off with soap and water:thumbsdow

Oh, btw, does your crown with the rolex insignia when FULLY screwed in like up straight? Or am I just to picky lol :dummy:

Well I promised pics, so here ya go! I'll take better ones with a non-iphone camera later!

Absolutely beautiful TOG Dooder, congratulations! This is certainly one of the best looking watches Rolex makes and that dial is fabulous.

You might try a dab of nail polish remover to get the bracelet gunk off being careful to not allow the acetone to get on or near the stem. It might be adhesive residue and will come off easily if it is.

Looks great, not something you see every day.

Very Nice. Congrats! (btw my rolex insignia on the crown doesn't line up straight) So don't worry about it! Nice pictures. Enjoy it!

Congrats on the beautiful TOG!:clap::thumbsup:

That's a real beauty. One of the best looking DJ's I've ever seen.

Great looking Rolex and congrats!!!!

Don't bother polishing it. Scratches build character. Its also too early to service .... just enjoy!

Looks sharp. Congrats!

I like the look of it with your blue short as contrast - brilliant photo

Welcome to the club, and nice choice

It all came good in the end then ..... you were getting a bit nervous the last post I read! It certainly looks like a stunning watch. The TT sets the dial off beautifully. :thumbsup:

And no the coronet on my crown doesn't line up either!!

well done mate :cheers:

love the TOG !!

Yes I was getting nervous alright! It was my first big watch purchase, and if 10 minutes went by without me getting an e-mail that my payment was complete I would freak! Haha possibly because I read a post about a member last year at this time who traded two watches plus a few thousand and got scammed, but he ended up getting the police involved and everything worked out for him. Glad that wasn't the case for me!

Great call!

A friend o'mine wears the same watch & it looks even better in the flesh.....

Congratulations mate.

Nice TOG. :thumbsup:

Fabulous looking piece man. Congrats. :cheers:

More Pics! Trying to get the lighting right in my office with this iphone 4 cam. It's just not happening I guess :dummy:

I'm not usually a TOG fan, but that's a fine looking watch.

Hey right on! Congrats on your first Rolex!!!!!! Very happy for ya man!

CHEERS!
