I guess you can tell which ones are GPS/Radio updated and which one I don't wear very often...

Yes! But it’s a very quiet thud.
The feel is more fun than the sound. :wink:

Cheers

The bumper rotor only travels about 300 degrees (?) and hits the rubber bumpers at the end of its travel. It's not a smooth round and round movement like a typical auto. You can certainly feel it bumping back and forth.

My late dad gave me a Rolex more than three decades ago and I fell in love with the half-gold design of the Oyster Date he'd given me. Recently came across another watch which I knew I needed in my life, so I snagged it. It's a used Rolex Datejust which had been restored to near pristine condition. Cost me a pretty penny but I just like the simple watch face, much like the one my dad gave me.

Both are beautiful.
I have almost the same two-tone DJ like yours on the left from my late uncle, but with a MOP dial.
I really love the engine turned bezel on your late fathers DJ w/stick markers. I have a DJ 16220 (below) with the engine eurned bezel and love it.
This is the photo of my watch by the seller prior to me purchasing it.

Nice, real nice!:thumbsup: Good to see another who love Rolex. I know half-gold is a tad passe, single tone is in now, but I guess I'm attached to the half gold tone due to my dad's gift. When I look at it, I'm reminded of my old man. I did notice that the watch from my dad has a pretty audible ticking sound, whereas the 'new' one is more subtle.

The two-tone will always be a classic!

I now have three automatic watches, and since I can only wear one at a time, I'd decided to get one of those watch winder box thingy. Below is a pic of it with the cover opened up.

And below here is a shot of it with the cover closed, my two Rolex are being constantly rotated on that round/circular platter.....thingy.

I also purchased 2 Belocia ($60.00) watch winders with Japanese motors very similar to yours.
I went light with the cost because once the motors go that's it, so for their price, it was well l worth it too me and I've had no issues with neither so far. Some of these winders (like anything else) can be mighty, mighty expensive.
