Are there any differences between DD watches from 1975 to 1995? Someone told me pre 1990 DD watches did not have a solid gold bracelet(hollow).

moviefreak · 16 December 2013, 12:55 PM

I believe solid links were around year 2000

This should be interesting.

My birth year is Nov 1964

That's a good baseline to start.

Those younger can now post their age.

Does anyone have an 1803 with Roman railroad tracks?

topcat30093 · 30 December 2013, 04:38 PM

Well they say what goes around comes around

Now after many years owning & wearing some of the most beautiful watches, it has been my privilege to wear.

A few days before Christmas, I bought this lovely 9 year old DD, that a good friend of mine who happens to be an AD was selling on behalf of another client.

It was always an ambition as a teenager into adulthood of mine to own such a beautiful watch. Back then It had to be Y/G, have a champagne dial sitting on a President bracelet.

So, back in 1999 when I was 41, I happened to be walking past the said AD who had a pre owned DD that fulfilled all my criteria's. So 3 hours later it was sitting on my wrist.

But then what did Rolex do, a few months later, they changed the bracelet as well as which parts of the watch was polished & which parts where not.

I was now completely hooked, so after a bit of wheeling & dealing my AD agreed to buy back the old DD, at the same price, that he sold it. And I walked away with a brand spanking new DD.

Several years later, I again updated the DD for a new one, which had the slightly modified clasp.

Ironically, all apart from the 1st DD were purchased around Christmas time!

Now fast forward to today, I again am the proud owner of a DD.

The only difference being, is now the dial is white, why, because it's easier to read!

Apologise, for the poor phone photos, but I took them during the wee early hours of Christmas morning, while I was at work.

PS, I always think that Y/G suits hairy arms better, what do you think

How does the day get to be at the bottom of the dial?

Am I hallucinating?

I LOL'd. I still flinch a little when I see someone wearing a watch on their right hand, but my own mother was afflicted with the same condition - "left-handed" they call it.

I am sort of obsessed with getting a Day-Date with a foreign-language day.
