    Just went to dinner with a friend of mine who was born in 1974. For her last birthday, her husband got her this 1974 datejust. The red dial is absolutely stunning in person.

    What is the ref number on this one? (if you know)

    Looks like a 1601 with WG bezel, but date looks kinda a small to me. Maybe because of the crystal.

    Thanks, you can actually see the threads of the bezel, unlike with the fluted one.

    Interesting looking, a little to bold for myself. I dare not let the wife see this since she loves red.

    They never came in this color except for the Stella dials. This one isn't quite one of those. Borrowed picture.
