New member of the family!!
I have been through many watches over the last couple of years, recently I started selling to finance a down payment on a new place.
I decided to keep 3, a daily beater, a sporty one and a dressy one. So I sold this for barely less than I paid for it: And bought this at an AMAZING discount: Very happy with the Datejust II on a smooth steel bezel, the WG fluted bezel has always been to much for me... And I even put some money in the bank for the house!

Yes, kind of, didn't want to go the full dress croc strap route. This fits my style nicely and can pefectly be worn with a suit in my mind.
On a daily basis I wear the PO, mostly on a Nato strap, and I still have the Sub which is a classic. The Santos belonged to my late father, I hardly ever wear as I find it to be too small, but I will never part with it. Thanks for all the responses and good wishes.
