Icon7 Wonderful wedding gift: Datejust 36mm

Hi everyone,

I've had an Omega Speedmaster Professional for awhile now, and my soon to be wife officially made me a new Rolex owner. I'm very pleased with the accuracy and the heritage of the Datejust.

I'm quite a tall guy and have 7.5" wrists, but I'm still completely satisfied with the elegant and utilitarian look of the SS Datejust with Oyster bracelet and rounded bezel.

Tell me I'm not crazy for preferring an "understated" and elegant look rather than something that seems remotely attention catching or, at worst, garish.

Regards,
TU

The best dial / bezel combo on a Datejust in my humble opinion. Love the white stick - looks great!

I don't think my wife likes me enough to buy me a Rolex...

The watch oozes quality.
