Hi @alfanator

Wow[emoji15] Is that Rolex 36 mm Vintage Datejust celebrating its Golden Jubilee this year?
Is that fluted bezel really solid 18 k white gold ? Are those 3D block 5 minute markers & the rolex crown in white gold too ?
I find it so Amazing & a real privilege to be shown a dial where the Roman numeral IV is engraved as IIII[emoji15]

Tell your wife i said Hi & Thank You for showing me old president[emoji4]

Most Roman numerals on watches appear that way, referred to as the watchmakers 4 , been used for over 100 years aesthetically to match the 8 on the other side of the dial. 馃槈

It is a ladies size, smaller than 36mm. It is all white gold afaik, i do not pay too much attention to presidents, but she likes it because it is low key. I like it because it is indestructible, and it allows me to indulge in my watches without guilt, cause she has a "gum-low" on her wrist.

Many years ago my Dad bought my Mum a little Girard Perregaux watch while on a romantic trip to Paris. In 1979 it was stollen during a house move and never seen again. They didn't replaced it as my folks hit on harder times shortly thereafter. Today I finally tracked down the identical model and (all being well) hope to get it shipped to my Mum in England next week.


Update 10th August
The GP has landed, Mum's happy and I'm "A very naughty boy". Yes, Mum whatever you say馃槜.

Wishing Everyone on the Omega Forum " HAPPY HALLOWEEN "
A Big Shout Out to Roach7 for sending my FedEx package in lighting quick time & I received my 1st ever Speedy a brand new unworn LE Apollo XI 45 on Halloween morning. How 'bout that guys? I had lots on inspiration & support from so many people on the forum & for that i'm grateful. Maybe for the battle hardened hard cores this isnt a big deal but i worked very hard 24/7 to save up & turn my little dream into reality of owning at least one Speedy in my lifetime. One of my earliest posting was a black T shirt that read " I dont own any Speedy.All I have is this Lousy T-Shirt !"

I dont have the time & the proper camera now but made a promise to post some modelling photographs wearing the Apollo XI 45 later. From time to time i'll post photos on the Speedy on related threads..
Ok My BFF , Natasya & Nakhorn thought of turning into "Zombies " with me on Halloween & posting photos on my 0ne & 0nly threat[emoji317]

This is me , the infamous MF17 a5d5a270bbb4bb4d855a4eec54f51e5f.jpg The Zombie below is Natasya 96caa188b89a42af5ebab0fe48ba235f.jpg This Thai Malaysian Zombie is Nakhorn Sariwat 18e182111db79d02862640936ef663fd.jpg

Congrats on your new arrival, and, once you're no longer a zombie:

May you wear it in "good health" 馃榿!

Best looking zombie ever!

My daughter doesn't wear a watch, or any jewelry, now, at age 15. But she has shown some interest in mine. It surprised me that she was more interested in my vintage Speedmaster than in the shiny! gold Constellation.

This classic thread IMHO deserves a bump for the newer members, including @Wallardy and @connieseamaster.
To other members it may feel a throwback to another time as the very feisty OP who MC鈥檇 this thread has since left the forum... but I find it a terrific ode to lady watch lovers.

@Syrte the post that you posted 19 minutes ago was from another time. We no longer have lady watch lovers. We have gender neutral watch lovers. Or maybe gender fluid watch lovers?
