always been eyeing my boss's gold DD and finally asked him to try it on...i was surprised that a full sized Rolex did not look big on my wrist at all..i was always worried b/c i have small wrists....but it looked okay...now i just can't wait for the day that i can add a DD to my collection....

That may be because the DD is only 36 mm. Compare that to the 39 - 40 mm size of EXP's, GMT's, and Subs and you'll notice the difference.

BTW, I love my DD

Why! You already have the Seadweller which has a date, cyclops eye would have to be 2mm thick and that would distort the image.

I don't normally care for the diamonds, but that's a fine-looking ticker!

Not to be too gauche, but where do you reckon the price range lies for a pre-loved watch of that type?

Thanks.

a boss or friend to try on their watch..

I let my Boss try on my YM and she really liked it. She sold a Rolex because she didn't wear it much but she really liked my TT YM.

I waited a long time; kept talking myself out of it because of the cost. I should have bought it sooner.

When I got it, it was just about 1/2 way between 5 and 10. It's been appraised for insurance at 3x what I paid.

That's a real beauty, Otto. I really love the Romans. It gives it such a classy look.
