The DJ is definitely an iconic Rolex
and thanks for posting yours. Here's my old 1600 for comparison, it's definitely very interesting to study the evolution of the watch in 40 years. ...
Great Watch
It truly is a great watch. I noticed you said you had to either wear a watch with a rubber strap or wait until you get to the office to put a watch on. You might, however, be able to have the best of both worlds with any watch you own. Rolex does have a v...
