Here's a nice one of a Datejust II I've taken for an upcoming article. Not quite perfect hand alignment, but close enough

I'm enjoying the vintage feel of the smaller lighter watches. Thought is does help me appreciate the 40mm case (and 42mm Speedmaster). Waiting for Dalton to complete a 1950 Oyster Date now. Maybe after that, the DJ will seem manly..?

My Dress Watch is a manly 34mm Seamaster.. It feels like a tiny breath on the wrist when I put it on...
