RO! RO! ROlex! Merry Datejust Christmas!
Santa provided a very special grail stocking stuffer to end my year with a bang. A Rolex Datejust 16203! I have had a heavy Diver leaning in my collection and wanted an ultimate dress watch. When an opportunity arrived to depart with a grail to get a Rolex ultimate grail, I went for it. And here it is in time for Christmas! The 36mm size is a little hard to get used to when you always wear big fat divers, but in a suit in a dress setting, this works. Happy Holidays!!

Congrats, give it a week or so and you will find it is the perfect size.
I almost gave up on the 36 and now I am so glad I didn't ! But it took me a few days to get used to the size again after wearing 42 and up watches.

Congrats on a classic beauty! I'm sure you'll quickly adjust to the 36mm and find it tough to take off!
