Think I'm hooked... Just got another one...
I haven't even got over the glow of the explorer I got recently (and am currently wearing) when I passed a AD in London to grab a Bvlgari watch for my wife and ended up taking this home as well. It's a V serial Datejust with WG bezel, silver dial and diamond markers.
I know Diamonds are a bit over the top for men but I wanted something a little more flashy. I was originally looking for a Sub because it has more presence and is more recognisable than the explorer but could not find any black ones and When I saw this, I just had to get it, even though it was a hell of a lot more. It looks amazing under a suit! |

I love the diamond markers, it really completes the watch. Great choice!
The one qualm I have with it is the dial. (which I'm sure you love) I just don't like a lot of dials. That's just me though, enjoy the watch! |

I saw the same dial but in Black and really liked it but the silver one seems more detailed to my eyes, I also like the plain Gloss Black version they have at my local AD but not enough to just snap it up while passing through. |

I love that dial, I always thought it was called the Graffiti dial...can it go by Juilee or Graffiti or, have I been calling it the wrong name and my AD was too polite to correct me?
Thanks, -Pete

Thank you for the clarification. I guess my AD follows the rule "the customer is always right"...but I wish I had been corrected so that I would have been calling it by the proper name. Either way, it's awesome! -Pete
