Incoming nothing exciting.
I had to go into town yesterday to pay a cheque into the bank. On the way back to my motorcycle I had to pass a jewellers and spotted this in the window.
I have been after a date day since reading Adams post on his last year.
It's a 1650/0 with box and papers. Sold in Selfridges in 1983, Rolex crown Rolex back and Rolex tin bracelet.

I absolutely love it.
Oh and the date day changes instantaneously at 00.03 do you think I should return it.

Nothing exciting!?? Haha! Pretty exciting to me! VERY nice find! Beautiful Day Date. Also great that it's such a complete set. You have a real sharp eye to spot that in the window while riding by on your motorcycle! It seems that this one was meant to be yours. :) Congrats and enjoy!
