I take it that your initials ARE truly "FJ"!

Nice wrist candy.

Great shots!

My very first Rolex was a 16234 DJ on oyster. Loved that combo and while I no longer have that watch and LOVE the jubilee bracelet on my current 116234, I'm planning on picking up an oyster bracelet too! Love the idea of having both to switch out!

Hi FJ! Congrats on your new watch. How much did RSC charge for them to inspect your watch?

phantom_gray,

Exactly $0 ...... and it's not just a quick glance inspection, it's taking quite a long time since I also had the links resized after he confirmed things are in order. The gentleman, forgot his name, also shared some maintenance tips with me. But then again, it could have been because mine still has 1 year left of warranty (they honor the warranty card I believe dated 12/2009).

Very impressive level of service, I have to say.
