Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 1603 – Envy Ain’t Always Green

OK, so I shouldn’t even be wearing this Rolex Datejust 1603. It is a long long story but I got this watch as a present for my wonderful wife for her birthday. It all happened one evening when wine and whisky were all too much involved. I subtly said to her “do you like this…
