Congrats Iceman for your fullfilling your dream!...
... this is a most beautiful timepiece, and in a great condition. As I wrote in your WS entry, this is a reference which epitomizes class and elegance.
I had always thought that Rolex should offer a similar dial/complication in a modern version within the classic case of a 36 mm Day Date, or may be not larger than 38 mm new case. That would be my modern made dream watch!
Congratulations and enjoy it in good health!
