I've been floating around this forum for a while now and always wanted to join you folks in owning a Rolex, well now I have. Got it on ebay for a decent price (I think). What sold it was it was made the year I was born - 1977.

I took it to my local horologist and he opened the caseback to verify it's authenticity and we were amazed at how clean and in great condition the movement was in. He did say that the gold datewheel was unusual for this model (anyone got any thoughts on this?) but everything was genuine. The bracelet has quite a bit of stretch but I feel this only adds to the vintage look.

Please let me know what you think of my newest pride and joy.
