It's a 1966/1967 Datejust. Gift from a friend. Not exactly sure of the model. It has the "hack" feature but the date has to be changed by rotating the minute hand.

After I had it fully overhauled and a new main spring, it keeps perfect time. Very impressive.

I think the 16030 came out around 1983 or so.

Hi!

I'm 36 years old, and I work as a manager for a media company. I got married last year, and my wife and I are expecting our first child in a few months. So 2009 is going to be a big one!

I own a vintage 1960 Oysterdate Precision, manual movement. Other watches I own include a Tag Heuer 2000 series automatic and a Montblanc Gilt SS quartz.

The Rolex belonged to my father, and he wore it when I was born. I plan to wear it when my son is born too. I plan to hand it down to my son when he's ready. I hope he too can carry on our little tradition!

On a waiting list for a GV and still toying with the idea od picking up a 1998 DJ from a retailer here in Edinurgh. I caught the Rolex bug about five years ago. My ex- gave me her late fathers 1976 DJ to wear and promptly took it back when we split up. I vowed at that point to get my own.

Take care folks and have a nice day all!
