1st Rolex 85 DJ

Just picked up my first Rolex. It has been converted from stainless to stainless and gold. The dial, bezel and band have all been customized. I can't thank Justin Valentine, purestar07@aol.com for all his help and information he provided me. He is a wealth of information and was unbelievably helpful! He went so far as to pick me up a manual and send it for free! If his help is any indication of the people on this forum than I'm definitely in the right place! By the way I picked this up for 1.5K. I couldn't be happier with the watch!

Nice watch and a great deal. That thing should last you about 40 yrs. I hope you enjoy it.

Justin,
Why did you pass on the 85 Sub? Merry Christmas to you and your family.
