I got lucky last week end ! 1 full week... 3 watches.

So for those who were following. It was my bday a few weeks ago and decided I wanted a second DJ to add into the collection.

Went to an AD and was offered a DJ41 with white dial, fluted bezel and pearl bracelet. That watch in person did nothing to me and I passed on it as I did not feel it was a watch I would enjoy wearing.

About 3 weeks later I decided to pass by the same AD and they had nothing for me at this time in the Rolex line up but ended up going with a Tudor black bay heritage.

Last Wednesday; I decided to pay a visit to an other AD in my area and ended up adding a Panerai to my line up. That was an emotional / nostalgic buy and connected very well with my AD as to what my watch goals were.

Little did I know... This Saturday I got the call for something special and I decided to move forward with it. It is not my ''dream configuration'' but I wore it yesterday and WOW the dial color is so special no pic can correctly show that color's richness.

The watch I am presenting you is a DJ41 with Rhodium dial on jubilee band. (wanted something with a jubilee bracelet for a LOOOONGGGG time.

Nice collection. I’ve had two DJ’s with rhodium dials, 36 and 41; not always the most legible but love the color and variable shades in different lighting conditions.
By the way, what are your watch goals?

As much as I love rolex I am not just a rolex maximalist ! In the rolex line up those are the ones I would love to own (no timeline or order given).

DJ41 White dial / Jubiliee / Fluted
DJ41 blue dial / Jubiliee / Fluted
GMT's batman / root beer / pepsi
Submariner Kermit
Skydweller 2 tone black dial
Skydweller Blue dial
Daytona Panda

Outside the rolex line up.... those are some I have my eyes on that I am opened for.

----------------------------
Tudor Black Bay chrono (reverse panda)
----------------------------
Panerai (something in the luminor line up)

Eventually id love to get into AP's but don't know enough about them yet.

Obviously I am open to other things as well. This week end I tried a watch that appealed my eyes a lot but I was not familiar with the brand.

The strap's material felt different then what I'm used to and the overall watch looked SICK.

Nice collection, congratulations.

I have to agree on the Rhodium DJ, it is an awesome watch, I have the same configuration.

Congrats on the slate DJ! Your pics make me excited to experience the color variety (I get mine Thursday ). Also, what is a "pearl bracelet"? Is that a nickname for the oyster?

Sorry was typing too quick ! Meant oyster actually haha.

and yeah I love the variety idea. I also find the DJ41 wears very well as a daily watch.
