–Hot, lazy day.
–1971 Rolex rhodium Datejust was running super-bad. Banged it around some, and it now seems to be running fine. Had thought the rhodium dial was newer, but noticed it said “O T SWISS T O” at the bottom. There’s some controversy about this–could be a “sigma” dial, could just be short for “Or” which is French for gold. For sure, markers, hands and (maybe) bezel are white gold, and these dials only existed in the early 70s. This does not explain why the tritium markers and hands glow like crazy under UV, and fade slowly, as the watch is nearly 50 years old. A mystery…
–Took a swim.
