The DayDate is finally back!
Back from 8 weeks of trouble.
Started with that I bought it over the internet when I was in Dubai, after a few weeks when I finally got home to Sweden I wore it for 3 days and then the date started jumping like 3 days in a day. In to rehab he went, came back but I had gone to Dubai again and was still there. Came home yesterday. took the taxi straight to my buddies home to pick it up  And here she is! (don't worry, the seller helped me with the repair and reimbursed me a little). All in all, I'm f'ing happy I have my dream watch! At the same time I decided on having the days in Swedish because I had to change it anyways. It was german from the beginning  What is it? Rolex 1803 2.5m serie which if I'm not mistaking should mean around 1968 with wide boy dial and hands. I wanted bark from the beginning but the wide boy just dropped me down on my knees, it's something really special! |

Cheers guys!
I'm proud to be able to buy this bugger at only 22 years old. Proud of my hard work. But my Root Beer will not be used for a long long time. Maybe sell it and buy another DayDate?
