Love Letter to The Rolex Day-Date (Reloaded)

August 19, 2020

Today on BEXSONN.com we are taking a look back at one of our favourite Rolex posts from over a years ago. It is perhaps hard to admit but we found it quite hard to decide where to begin for such a conflicted watch. Iconic, yet forgotten in this day and age.
