1946 Pink and Steel Bubbleback ref. 3133 by Thomas Taylor (Registered User) Date: 12/02/2001, 01:34:12 In response to: RE: What was your first "nice" watch? For me, a steel Datejust. -- Dish

I bought it in a pawn shop for $575.00 over 16 years ago. Still have it too. It has the small pink gold monk's hat Oyster Patent crown, Roman number luminous dial, white. It has the Mercedes Hour Hand, Pencil Minute hand combo like some Athletes, and a red center seconds. My watchmaker once bought an nos set of those hands on a Rolex card with the original radium...the set came with both minute hands, the reverse taper baton, and the pencil style. I believe the ones on mine to be original. I still like it the best out of everything I have ever owned. It is in for service just now or I would post a pic.
