ref. 6605 (9K) today (old pic).

I had no idea they made DJs in 9K back in the day, I thought the bubblebacks were the end of that! The dial and its patina, extending to the date wheel are quite nice too, really goes with the gold.

only for a little while today, so I don't forget I have it, as I find it a little small. Although it is made of Ashely's favorite metal. 馃榿

Gorgeous Piping Rock, Steve! Do you really find it too small? Despite the the round shape and 28mm diameter, I think with the extended lugs it wears larger than some other of the era, e.g. the Cushion, Barrel, Palisade, or Spur, et al.

Thanks. Yes, I too was surprised to find it in 9K, and it's a Swiss case:

Even more interesting, when you think 9K cased Rolex you usually think of Dennison in the UK or something. Cool piece!
