This is the third day I've worn it after getting more links for the bracelet. I've gotten used to the size, and I'm really liking it!

Hell I've worn it with some ratty clothes too (been kinda house bound with this case of the shingles). I'm wearing a sweatshirt type top, patch pocket khakis, and Doc Marten shoes and it still looks good! Never realized just how versatile these watches can be.

Cheers,
Bruce

The TT DJ was my first Rolex ever....way back in 1980....it's an all time classic and will never die!!

BruceS · 31 October 2005, 04:15 AM

Didn't think I'd ever say this JJ, but I'm falling in love with this watch!

Whats not to fall in love with????

An all time classic in my opinion!!

dman · 31 October 2005, 04:20 AM

That was my first model as well. It does go great with any type of dress. A great watch for sure.

Earl · 31 October 2005, 10:46 AM

I just put my TTDJ in for service new acrylic crystal, I'm hopeing a dial like yours Bruce, tube and stem and service as I said. Also, my brown dial GMT Master that one needs new bezel insert and a service. 4-5 weeks he told me so you will get pictures upon their return ;o)

BTW, Bruce I like your TT DJ lol

BruceS · 31 October 2005, 10:49 AM

Thanks Earl! Bought that one for Tam after Josh was born. It's one of our keepers!

Looking forward to pics of yours when they come back. It's hard being without them I bet!

I love mine too, my first Rolex. It was given to me by my mom, who is the worse WIS I know, when I was only 12. It sat mostly in a safe until I was 18 (but she did bring it out for me to wear to special events or family gatherings under her and my dad's supervision *see how hardcore my parents are with watches

)

This is the keeper, the one next to it with the beautiful champagne roman dial is my dads and will be mine one day when I have a kid (hopefully as cute as your son) to give to him/her.

Rockrolex · 31 October 2005, 12:42 PM

Roger, you can post pics of the Roman dial DJ anytime you want. I've got the identical watch on a black leather strap. It was the first Rolex I bought so it has great sentimental value for me.

dman · 31 October 2005, 12:45 PM

Oh so if you own it, that is okay, but post a few thousand orange pics and that is a problem?

Because I know Roger is restrained and discreet. Unlike some other people we know (no names but their initials are JJ Irani

) who does not know the meaning of restraint. That word is not in his dictionary.

Probably because you don't stay friends when the orange is in the way.

JJ Irani · 1 November 2005, 03:07 AM

BruceS · 1 November 2005, 03:11 AM
