I don't wish to dilute the OP's joy so I'll just say that I'll create a separate thread after I return from travel and have the time, but that my Rolex addiction may also include a GMT II Pepsi and SS Daytona before I'm satisfied. I'll let my sons debate which one gets which watches.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am so happy to be welcomed and part of this community. Hopefully many more additions to the collection to come!

While providing a dress counterpoint to my tool watch Sub, it also means that I now have two Rolex watches to pass on to our two sons when I can no longer wear them. I think the DJ is a great watch. Congratulations and wear it in good health and good humor.

Congrats to you as well! It is a lovely watch to be honest. Especially when the sun hits the dial, the different shades of blue is amazing. Hope you enjoy your one as well. Your sons are lucky to have such a wonderful father.

Your eyes will stick to take blue dial for a long time. Congrats!

I have that same watch and it is Stunning! You got the best configuration for a Datejust my friend. Congratulations and enjoy it!!!!

[tagi320]

Thank you! Am thoroughly enjoying it. The shades of blue when the sun hits the dial is truly stunning. Was deciding between this and the Wimbledon dial but glad I went for the Blue!

One of the best looking DJs is the catalog. Congratulations!

[Lightsped]

The DJ is one of the most iconic Rolex watches made. Very very well done.

[Watchsprings]

Congratulations that’s a beauty. I chased sports watches and got a few but my DJ 36 in the same configuration as yours came later and it one of my favorites!

[RolexDave68]

Congrats, looks fantastic. Perfect first to enjoy

[daysky1]

Each Rolex has its purpose. The Date Just is an excellent choice. I have a collection of Rolex watches and it wouldn't be complete without one, or more, in it.

[Cassian739]

Congrats on your first Rolex! Looks fantastic on your wrist and may it be the first of many over the years.

Can’t go wrong with a DJ. Congratulations

[cdmorenot]

Great watch! Congratulations. I’m sorry that it wasn’t your first choice. I hope you hold on to it because it’s a great piece.

[tagi320]

Thanks once again for the congratulation messages. This DJ will definitely be a keeper. Never selling my first. Hopefully I can add a GMT and Daytona to my collection in the future!

A great first Rolex, congratulations.

Perfect watch, congrats!

It's a great watch but you sound like you don't really want it, which seems a bit of a waste. I'll bet it grows on you. Good luck with the rest of the journey.

Thanks Harry! I was meaning to say I had other watches that I wanted more, hopefully ones I can get in the future. But this was the one I wanted for a "realistic" first Rolex from an AD. It was between this and a Wimbledon Dial. But I am glad I chose the blue dial. Am really enjoying it at the moment.

[metallic]

It's an excellent watch. Congrats!

[DJM4]

Looks great, it’s a beauty! You should definitely be thrilled! Big Congrats!

Highly gracious sentiment, sir. I wholeheartedly agree that the blue dial is a work of art in many lightings, and I am reveling in looking at it repeatedly. I hope that my sons are able to enjoy and appreciate the Rolexes as much as I have enjoyed them. On a somewhat mischievous level I may well enjoy them wringing their hands on whether to claim my 2005 two line no date Submariner or my 2024 DJ41 blue stick dial!

Enjoy yours in good health and good spirits!
