G'day from Tasmania, Australia

My first Rolex, waited ages to find a vintage 1964 Datejust in SS with 1570 Calibre, which I think was the 1st year for them. No Jubilee bracelet, it was worn beyond repair and replaced at last service with an oyster bracelet. Very unassuming, but with + or - 3 seconds a day accuracy whilst being worn.
Purchased from the original owner.
Trying to take photos, no real skills yet. Hoping to learn more from the TRF.
I enjoy ferreting out the vintage posts by members, the older models are my main interest.

cheers
richard

Thanks for the welcome fellas, now if only I could get Photobucket to upload an image or two..........

I'm proud of the Datejust, it looks great.

cheers
