Second first Rolex
Greetings,
I'm a long time TRF lurker and reader...but first time poster. I had been a one watch type for 20+ years when my first TT DJ was stolen back in 2008. Insurance didn't cover replacement value, so I started on my current watch obyssey. I went from Tissot to Tag to Omega and was pretty content with Omega but as I approached a milestone birthday this past summer something was missing. I decided to add back a TT DJ as a dress watch and chose a 16233. None of the trusted TRF sellers had what I was looking for at the time, but Bob's Watches did at a reasonable price. It was a complete P series package, and the paperwork shows it was sold new in 2006. As I am also a display back fan, I had my watchmaker install one that I purchased from Thomas Preik. The strap version, even though not original, still looks great with the end links from Smarty Jones. So now I am back in the Rolex fold, so to speak, but no longer with just one watch. This can, and has, become an expensive hobby. Excuse the poorly lit photos... YMMV, b |

I did post a bit on another site that has an active Omega forum. I didn't post here because I didn't think I had anything to contribute until I was an owner again, but I sure did learn a lot. YMMV, b. |

Welcome to posting on TRF, Bob. And congrats on the "new" TT DJ. I have the same watch, but not with a display back.

Thanks for the warm welcome to TRF. I do like display backs, and have several from Thomas Preik. They all pass pressure testing, too. YMMV, b. |
