Hi All !

I always enjoy looking at all of the photos here. I especially like the unusual models. I thought I'd snap a shot of our Chevrolet Datejusts. These were given to qualifying Chevrolet dealers in 1987 as part of their Golden Jubilee Celebration. As a car nut, they are perfect for me. Thought you all might like to see them. I love the "Bowties" on the dial. Happy New Year to all.

Nice watches, can you take a picture of one of them at an angle? From this photo it looks like the dials were printed on.

Nice watches

arttay10 · 1 January 2008, 07:24 AM

Wow - never seen those before. They look great !!

All the best for the New Year

ratmotortom · 1 January 2008, 07:27 AM

This shot might better show the dial. My photo skills are a little weak !

The side view tells the whole story, NICE WATCH! It's very futuristic.

Scooby · 1 January 2008, 07:37 AM

That is really interesting. The dials have a real nice texture to them.

I know about the Dominos Pizza AK's, and now these Chevy DJ's. Any other specialties out there?

I'm always looking for information on these watches. I never have really found out how many sets were awarded. I have the list of every dealer in this region that got them, but I don't have the national number. They were given out in at the Westin Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio at a huge dealer award ceremony. ( For this region, anyway. ) They came with unique paperwork and Chevrolet medallions on the boxes as well. Here's the original invitation to the event.

Congratulations on those unique Rolex!

My compliments on the effort you put into receiving them, too.

Great pair, I love the dials they look like a million bucks.

Paulie · 1 January 2008, 09:04 AM

Amazing, well done dials! Thanks so very much for sharing! :)

I have not seen an Oldsmobile version, but I have seen a Buick award watch from around the same time period.

Some Buick Motor Division long service employees received Longines with engraved casebacks. Here's one I added to my collection recently. The caseback reads:

Presented To
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
by
Buick Motor Division
In Appreciation Of
25 Years Service
1953 - 1879 (I think)

It's in for an overhaul right now. I think the presentation date reads 1978, but not sure.

CPCC · 1 January 2008, 06:03 PM

Wow, Truly unique. Fantastic.

SPACE-DWELLER · 1 January 2008, 06:17 PM

Cool Rolex watches! I have never seen that "Chevrolet dial" before.
