Nice Birthday Present!

Hey guys,

Today is my birthday and my family wanted to give me something they knew I'd keep. So here it is: 1985 Datejust. A true classic. Of course I sourced it myself and managed to find a nice tight Jubilee (genuine of course) and I have the correct endlinks on the way. But the kids didn't know I knew about it and they were really exicited to give me a Rolex and it was equally as exciting for me.

Here's a pic and a pic of it's companion my Z serial Sub.

Merry Christmas to everyone at TRF!

Beautiful DJ you have there. To ME at least that is THE DJ that comes to my mind when I think of Rolex first and DJ second.

Wear it well!

Happy belated birthday. Nice looking watch. I'm sure they were as thrilled to give it, as you were to receive.
