Every Day Is Day-Date Day Over At Das Rolex Forum

It seems that every Monday, visitors of the German Rolex Forum (www.r-l-x.de) who are fortunate enough to own a Rolex Oyster Day-Date, should post a picture of their precious time piece.In the meanwhile, Monday has been replaced by every day.Although it is not an everyday watch of course.Although the original Day-Date is only 36mm in diameter, I still prefer it over a Day-Date II (which is 41mm).To me, the Day-Date is the classic wrist watch in precious metal (available in gold or platinum) that you cant go wrong with.Enjoy some of the Day-Date photos sent in by visitors of R-L-X.Photo by HannesPhoto by Savoy TrufflePhoto by KurtPhoto by KurtPhoto by RO.lexThe Day-Date models were introduced in 1956, being the first wrist watch featuring a day and a date window.This watch was and is only available in precious metals, such as gold (in various colours and combinations) and platinum.A vintage 1970s Day-Date on a leather strap can be found starting around 3250 Euro and 5750 Euro makes you own a white gold Day-Date with President bracelet.If you are on a quest for a nice gold dress watch, you may want to consider a Rolex Day-Date ref.1803 on a leather strap, which is (as you can see above) quite affordable and will keep its value for years to come.The solid Rolex movement caliber 1555 wont let you down, I am sure.Models later than 1980 with a solid gold President or Oyster bracelet will still cost you serious money.Click here for the thread on the German Rolex Forum (pictorial).
