Congrats!

 

Great choice. Timeless.

 

Looks fantastic!

 

You've got a nice watch, Nomateus! If you allow me to give you a word or two. Try to adjust it in a snug fit to your wrist, as this keep the bracelets from shaking and thus preserve the jubillee from stretching. Once a month soak the bracelet (the bracelet only) on a cup filled with thinner. This way you remove all oil, dirt and dead skin cells that overtime create an acidic sludge and damage the pins. Congrats, man.

 

OP - congrats. However, do not soak your bracelet in paint thinner.

Like ever.

Good luck!

 

Niiiiiiiiice 😉👍

 

Congrats! I have the blue dial version.

 

Every Rolex lover of the brand should own this classic watch with jubilee and fluted bezel. I have the same with white dial and it is the most comfortable watch I have ever owned.

 

Classic watch, classic configuration. Congrats and enjoy!

 

Any issues with legibility? 8 months down the line and I'm still torn between the blue and silver dial.

 

Absolutely perfect. My grail as well in that same configuration. Congratulations!!!!!

 

Very nice. Beautiful dial.

Hope you enjoy it. A iconic watch for sure.

 

Great watch. Definitely do not soak it in solutions ...

Size the bracelet comfortable to you, and if 3 decades later it's a little loose, can always have it restored. Modern day bracelets don't stretch like the old hollow link bracelets, but even if its hollow links I'd still advise against soaking your bracelet in thinner ...

 

What the

 

A year in watch collecting and you're already adding the greatest hits in your collection! Love the configuration you went with, classic and timeless!

 

That's a keeper.

 

Elegant and timeless. Life is too short not to reward yourself. Big congrats!

 

Gorgeous, silver dial steel datejust on jubilee is one of my favorite watches of all time

 

Congratulations and an excellent choice - a timeless, iconic Rolex that is elegant, robust and very accurate. It will last many lifetimes. Wear it well!

 

Hard to do better than that.

 

Brilliant choice. The size plus this dial, bezel and bracelet are all a classic combo. Just as good 50 years from now as it is today.

 

All I’m saying, if you are going to put up this self proclaimed “bad ass” manifesto, make sure it is buttoned up, otherwise you look… a lot less bad ass. And I have no issue with fossil fuels, gas stoves, red meat and… well sorry, can’t go plural on them XXs, I’m married.

 

The older I get, the "more bad ass" I was. Long story short: the guy bought himself a beautiful Rolex, I gave him two pieces of advice, some people disagreed, some got triggered because I mentioned dangerous radioactive poisonous explosive substances, I got scourged for misspelling and for a supposedly bad-ass style comment, it's all right, it's all fine, love you brother. Have a nice Wednesday! But again, no soap or any form of ethanol is able to solve and remove the corrosive acidic sludge deeply encrusted in steel bracelets. Obviously, after soaking/shaking the bracelet in toluene or thinner, it must be thoroughly washed in running water. This sludge is a result of a mix of dust, sweat, skin oils and dead skin cells. That's why leather straps rot and smell bad. It works, I survived, and I'm alive to tell you about it. Obviously, do not smoke while doing it, do not drink the solution, wash your hands carefully etc.

 

That is a great Watch to own. Congratulations on a real nice Rolex. Vance.

 

Beautiful! Congratulations, and enjoy~
