Well folks,

After many hours of contemplation, comparisons, etc, I ordered a brand new DayDate 18kt YG 118238 white dial with romans. AD 25% off + no tax. No haggling, he stated they always offer 25% on solid gold models, he said "I've been selling these too long to play games with people." Be here in a few weeks! Although I don't know if my wife will allow me to wear it until my 40th Bday. (which coincidentally is not until November of 2008!) Oh well, I can admire it in the box!!

Congratulations! A wonderful watch to celebrate a wonderful birthday!

Welcome to TRF!

EXCELLENT deal!

Please post some pics!

Robb · 9 October 2007, 06:41 AM

Congrats!!!!

Paulie · 9 October 2007, 07:02 AM

Awesome! Day-Date with Romans is one of my all time favorites!

Chris B · 9 October 2007, 07:05 AM

Very many congratulations, looking forward to seeing pics.

SPACE-DWELLER · 9 October 2007, 07:16 AM

Here is MY suggestion how to post pics here:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the LAST bar - see my arrow on the Print Screen underneath). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar:

4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).

That's it!

Downing · 9 October 2007, 07:23 AM

That's great news!!!

Even if she won't let you wear it, hopefully she'll let you take pictures so you can post them.

BLSampson · 9 October 2007, 07:33 AM

"Although I don't know if my wife will allow me to wear it until my 40th Bday."

Tell her there is a break in period for 18K gold and it takes about 2 weeks for the watch to get properly regulated....or not.

Any way, welcome to TRF.

BTW: A piece of good advice:

IF you are first going to wear it in November 2008, then please at least wind it fully every now and then to keep the oils fluent.

A full wind requires about 40-50 turns of the winding crown in its "neutral" (free of the crown threads) position.
