Today was a day to wear a dream of mine since I was a kid...
...Actually this model was the very first one that got my attention and made me fall in love with Rolex. When I was at my 10yo or so, and saw a shiny watch on a display, grabbing my eyes as nothing else had ever done before, and after asking my father what watch was that, I got to know about its existence: Rolex.
From that day and ahead, if you ever talked to me about watches, that would be the name that would be in my mind, until I was grown up enough to find out what model (Day-Date President) had gotten so much attention of mine, and became a grail to me.
After some time collecting, I have finally got to add part of this dream to the watchbox, or at least the first part of it, as it surely won´t be alone there - the Platinum Day-Date II was awaiting for its arrival - and for the future, more Day-Dates surely will join the party along the life line, ´til the day a GEN will take place on the collection as the jewel of the crown.
...of course, in the same configuration: Full yellow gold, with Champagne Dial.

Wearing my OM with the new strap; not happy with it in person. I think it looks good in pics but just not on me. Looks too narrow, especially since it tapers.
I guess I'll swap the bracelet back on.

My new acquisition, arrived yesterday. Love the white dial!
Nice! I like the simple design of this one. Only one button.
U-1001 today.

WOW!!!
Nice Ivicta Diver, mate. I have one, too; and from a short distance, it's been mistaken for the Submariner. Nice, dependable piece.

WOW!! THAT'S an elegant, sophisticated-looking piece, Spirit -- and very shiny, too; and THAT captures my interest. Always a treat to drool over your watches. Thanks!

Very nice variety this week. Lots which don't show up here very often. I'll throw another in the mix.
