My first Rolex -- 41mm DJII
Been shopping for Rolex recently, all the 40mm watches just looked way too small on me even though I really liked the Yachtmaster. Went to an AD today and he showed me the new 41mm DJs. He had 4 models and I chose the below along w/a new strap for the PAM233 pictured.

Yea, it's the picture. The camera was on the side of the DJ, plus the DJ is resting on top of the bracelet so it's closer to the camera. The DJ is nowhere near being bigger than the 44mm PAM. I'll try to take some better ones tomorrow...as for now it's spending all of its time on my wrist :)

Thanks guys! I'm really glad to have found this watch. I've always loved that bezel on the smaller DJs, but never considered them due to their size. The watch is definitely not "sporty" like the GMT, Sub or YM but I can still dress down with it. I had written off the Rolex brand until I came upon these beauties!

I'll try to get some wrist shots up tomorrow for you guys. I couldn't take any good shots indoors in low light, I'll try during daytime tomorrow.
