Newest Rolex To The Collection
Thank you for the warm welcome on my first post showing my collection. As @Uppersouth promised, this forum causes "collection expansion syndrome". Well I added a 4th Rolex to the collection! What is cool about this watch is it has to do with two of my favorite things, Colts and Rolexs'.

Background on the watch: This watch was originally shipped to Colt Firearm Manufacturing Co. and was given to an executive who worked for Colt. It is complete with the original presentation box, paperwork/books!

1997 Rolex DateJust 16200 complete with box and all paperwork

Enjoy! (Better photos to come!)

Very cool; not so fond of the company but a nice watch if you're into it.

Very nice. DJs look so good with the thinner & brushed lugs.

Exceptional! The 16200 (black dial/jubilee) was my first Rolex! Enjoy yours in good health!

Factory spec, I have a lot of contacts at Colt being in that business, and I asked them to confirm everything before I bought it, got the green light
