New owner - first Rolex
Hi all,
Thought I'd pop a post up to say hi - couple of days ago I finally took the plunge and bought myself a present for a big birthday. Took longer than I thought since my birthday was last year though! Got myself a DJ-II with a white dial. I tried on quite a few (handy having Watchfinder's shop in the Royal Exchange a few minutes from the office, they have plenty of most models to pore over and slip on the wrist!) but decided to go with a new one in the end as the price difference wasn't that much, and a 5y warranty and the fact that it's all shiny and new meant it was worth it. So, the nearby Mappin and Webb it was - and a week later, after trying on most of their stock to see my preferred dial, I still liked the white one best, I got that thrilling phone call to say 'sir, pleased to say your watch has come in...' Pic here, if I've done this right... It's so new in the photo that I hadn't even peeled all the protective plastic wrappers off it!  How long is it likely to be before I stop staring at it??? |

Huge congrats on your first Rolex! That's a smart looking Datejust and a style that doesn't shows up very often on here. Enjoy it in the best of health.

Congratulations. I have always liked the look of the white dial on the DJ II. I prefer the fluted bezel but both look great.

Congrats and happy belated birthday!
I'm almost 10 years into Rolex ownership (different watches in that timeframe) and I still find myself checking the time, getting distracted my the beauty of my watch and forgetting what time it was. Hopefully that never stops.
