my new Datejust II

[kyozcx]

One of the very first shippment here in AU.
Just bought it today.
Got calls from differents ADs today said that DJII arrived.
Here is the one I bought. I was about to buy the classic roman-black dial, until I saw this!
This is NEW dial Rolex just lunched this year. my one is WG. REf: 116334.
For me, YG version is toooo bling, and less sportier.
Much perfer WG version.

Sorry about the pics, I use cell phone camera.
The dial on this one is not black, more of matte dark grey.


Honestly, I wasnt a fan of this watch until I have one in my hand. it is just NICE.

Here are some tips for those who are will to have one:
It is 41mm, Rolex enlarged the size, yet, the thickness stays the same(middle case and back case), therefore the winding-crown stays the same. If Rolex made the case thicker like they did on Milgauss, then I bet they would enlarge the crown, like the crown we have on milgauss. According to this: the only draw back is the proportion.
I really like the proportion on 36mm DJ.
Anyway, this is the only draw back I can think of.

Rolex gave this watch a new movement:3136. Which uses paraflex and parachrom(owned and developed by Rolex). So far, only DDII and DJII use both Parafelx and Parachrom. DSSD and new TT sub only had their spring upgraded to parachrom, but not paraflex.

One more thing Ive noticed is that there are 1 more removeable link at 6 o'clock. For normal morden Oyester bracelet(those on 116200 116400 116710 etc), the shortest you can go on 6 o'clock is 4.1/2 But on DJII, there is one more removeable link which makes it 3.1/2 for shortest. Interesting!

Overall, it is a very nice watch. I give 9.5 out of 10.

Hope you enjoy the review.
