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 really like it! It is 3D/textured so it looks a lot better than my sorry excuse for a picture shows. I'm also under the impression that if I get any crap under the glass, it will hide it well (unlike my exp1).

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
