What Are Rolex Oyster Professional Watches? A History
Rolex Oyster Perpetual from 1953What exactly is a "Rolex Oyster Professional" watch? Most Rolex watches produced today use the brand's Oyster case which embodies years of development that started with the original Rolex Oyster watch from 1926. At the time Rolex pioneered the first ever watch case with screw down crown, bezel, and caseback that offered water resistance and dust protection, though it was not until 1953 that the Professional Collection was born.The idea of the Rolex Oyster Professional today is the perpetuation of timepiece models that were originally intended for professional use. That included watches for people engaged in diving, flying, automotive and sport racing, science and industrial work, as well as general planetary exploration. Rolex Oyster Professional watches by nature are more durable and utilitarian in design, and they also have in many instances additional production or testing steps added to their manufacture before they leave Rolex and go out to the cons

Watch purchase and legacy considerations
I have started looking for my next watch purchase; which led me to think what would happen to my watches when I was gone or ready to pass them on and how that would influence my purchase. The obvious answer is to buy what you like and enjoy. This is true and definitely part of my decision making process. I like the idea of my daughter (only child and currently only 6ys old) eventually getting and enjoying my watches. Has anyone had similar considerations when deciding what to buy, specifically for a daughter eventually inheriting a watch? Basically I am looking for watch suggestions that are as appealing being worn on a man as on a woman.

How Does Smooth Bezel, PCL DJ41 Wear?
I was wondering if anyone has pics of a well used DJ41 (with smooth bezel, oyster bracelet), as I'm curious how the smooth bezel and PCLs are wearing on the DJ.
