my first rolex datejust

parents surprised me for passing my civil enineering P.E. exam. thought i was getting the same one with oyster/smooth bezel, but they upgraded me to WG fluted and jubilee!!! how nice! it is an M series and also has the roulette wheel date dial.





more pics to come, those are with my blackberry storm. will use the real camera later!

That looks pretty cool

My DJ has the roulette date wheel, too and I think it's a great feature
