Hello Age of Surfaces! You got a very beautiful Datejust!

Love the contrast of the white Buckley dial against the gold case and enhanced by the redish vintage type straps.
Guess it would look terrific with a red croco strap as well.
I like the Buckley dials so much. As a matter of fact these painted roman indexes against a white dial were so much in vogue in the 1980’s in my Country when a Datejust with this dial was the favorite variant to own. Long before it became known as a “Buckley”.
I bought a two tone DJ with a champagne Buckley around 1982/3 as an special present for my Dad. After his passing it came to my collection.
Then in the early 1980’s I bought a Datejust Quartz with a white dial Buckley during a business trip to Geneve.
I still own both and enjoy them so much.
Roman numerals look so classic and elegant I feel and your new watch confirms my feelings about this type of dials.
I wish you’ll love and enjoy it so much!!
Best!
Abel
