Took a few pics this morning











Love the T39 Crystal





I'm really taken by this watch - it's fantastic. The dial, hands & bezel are almost perfect & the case proportions are so much nicer than the newer versions (which are hardly shabby).

I genuinely think it would take a DRSD to displace this.

That really is a lovely thing. I love the side profile shots.

Ding, and indeed, dong!

I can't really explain why but older Rolex models never really floated my boat when I first became aware of them, but now due to various members on TZ (LTF comes to mind first!) and some posts here along with the snowflake Tudor I'm more than starting to come around...

Glad you took some profile shots, and I'm also glad that the watch is all that (if not more) than you were expecting

Stunning. Enjoy every minute. When you want to flip it let me know

Very nice Andy.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't have sold what you did for it though...
(Please don't hate me!)

[Stuart]

Perfect, congratulations. I'd have sold everything you did for that btw.

Wow Andy. This is the watch that hooked me onto Rolex in the first place but sadly none of the newer models have quite hit the spot for me. I wish I could afford to own one of those though but my sensible side says don't look, don't look, lol.

It looks fantastic. Congratulations

I particularly like the colour of the lume and especially the domed glass

Would you happen to know why / when Rolex stopped using domed glass (if I am correct in thinking modern equivalents have flat glass)

[Podie]

I'll be honest, I don't "get" Rolex... but that is a lovely looking watch.

Really, really nice Andy, great looking condition, almost perfect, and a great model to choose too - the lume is a lovely colour, the crystal really adds a lot to the watch as well imo and for me is one of 'the' Rolex divers to get excited about without getting your pants really pulled down for a double red or great white...!

[964RS]

Hmmmm....I do miss that watch

Glad it is in good hands now though Andy

Enjoy!!


My fave pic of it....

Thanks, but it is a great white.

Ha - always thought that was something else - excellent then!
