It’s a “Day-Date” 40 in white gold, a somewhat plebeian Rolex that is nice but not over the top like the models in the Professional line. I wanted a Rolex but didn’t want some super fancy version that I was going to get mugged for. The Oyster Perpetual is a nice basic one, too, without the day/date functions. I bought mine back in the early 1990s.
I will say that I found Rolexs’ don’t seem to be held in high regard by most watch people. They require regular maintenance and can be easily buggered up by an untrained repair person. Shane more or less reconditioned mine after it sat for easily a decade. I gave it to the youngest son, who doesn’t wear it now, either. At least not often, as far as I know.
