This is my Datejust!

Hello rolex-fellas all around the globe!

I just took a giant leap from Raymond Weil to Rolex-world. Bought myself my first Rolex and was lucky to get a classic which has been something to desire since teenageyears. And for affordable price as a preowned timepiece. It"s a ss datejust 2005 with fluted bezel (white gold?), jubilee and white arabic dial. It is a fine dial but prefer other and gonna be changed soon to a tapestry.

One thing is great about datejust that you can see so Many amazing variations of the watch and they all look so nice.

First impressions anyhow was suprised like what this small and what is this bracelet genuine!? LoL

But after that from the second day i just fell more in love with this watch and have enjoyed a lot seeing pictures of your guys watches too!

What amazes me now the most is that this is 11 years old but have no signs of wear at all!

Sorry for the quality of my pictures Thanks

Ripa

White dial, Roman numerals are always a keeper! Great choice!

Welcome! I too own a DJ with white romans. Love the look.

Just FYI, that bezel is not a white gold bezel, it is stainless steel. The model number is 16220, it is called an engine turned bezel.
