For your information, I am not some kind of single woman-hating chauvinist, & I am actually a happily married father of three.

One of my children is a thirteen year old girl, & between her & her Mother, please believe me when I tell you that there's no room for (genuine) chauvinism in my family; & any sexist remarks made even in jest in my household are very much 'tongue-in-cheek' affairs because my boys & I soon incur the full wrath & fury of my wife & daughter!

Nevertheless I apologise to you again both publicly & privately for any offence caused.

Respectful Regards,

Dan.

Well said, Dan................and knowing our Karis, I'm sure she's the forgiving and forgetting type.

Cheers - JJ

you can't even pretend to be humble with a watch that cool.....

ersnyder · 13 January 2010, 09:22 AM

I really like the large size and the clean look of the dial, stunning!

scl6118 · 13 January 2010, 09:53 AM

That is a beautiful watch!

Smoking!!!

scl6118 · 13 January 2010, 10:26 AM

I love those pics posted, but my favorite DJII is with the white dial and romans. To me that's the best DJII!

Rolesor · 13 January 2010, 10:30 AM

Was wondering where my thread was heading for a bit there but it seems to have made it's way back on track lol

There's a great lume shot floating around on the forum - I LOVE the bright green hands against the blue arabics I think it make the watch that much more unique!

There's a white dial with roman numerals?

Thanks Karis! You always come through with the well wishes - much appreciated!

Unfortunately we are looking at condo's next week and now talk of going away to get married in the net year and a half.. I get the feeling I'm going to have to save extra hard or it's going to get pushed back again..

I'll get there sooner than later

This is my favourite DJ2 you have got there my friend. Absolutely gorgeous ! The other DJ2 varients are nice but i dont like the numerals upside down at the bottom, either in arabic or in roman numerals.

Rolesor · 13 January 2010, 10:44 AM

I'm still a hair torn by this one as well but I have still never been able to see it in person. If it came down to it and I had both in front of me to choose from - It would be a tough day for Brandon

esm · 13 January 2010, 10:47 AM

the SS black dial, roman numeral and baton at 9 oclock looks great in person. That pic did not do it justice!!!

Rolesor · 13 January 2010, 10:48 AM

If the numeral were pressed on and not the raised paint like they are I would jump on that model in a heartbeat!

That's why I need to see it in person - to see if they really stand out as much as I hope they do!

esm · 13 January 2010, 10:53 AM

From memory I think there is another version of roman numeral dial with all applied Romans. Can not remember if it is available in both SS and TT variants or just the TT.... Then again, one of the advantages owning a DJ/DJII is that you can change the dials as often as you want.

Isn't there, or is it a DJ with romans that I have seen many photos of?

Rolesor · 13 January 2010, 10:55 AM

This guy right here - It is very nice but doesn't offer the sharp contrasts I like in the other two models. It did look very nice in person though.

Correct the DJ has the white roman dial but the DJ II only has the blue one, the black one (both pictured in this thread) and the TT model.

esm · 13 January 2010, 07:01 PM

mmm... hope Rolex brings out more dial options at the Basel 2010

I would love to see this one - I cannot understand why some of the Roman dials DO have the 9 baton, and some dont (like this one).

IMO it looks better without, and I love the Azzuro blue here. If anyone has real-world pics please share!

smh223 · 13 January 2010, 10:10 PM

i think Rolex missed the mark on the DJ II...its a stunning piece, but a larger crown and wider (perhaps new style) hands would have really made the watch perfect. I am hopefuly for a smooth bezel and wider hands at Basel.

HL65 · 13 January 2010, 10:36 PM

Sweet watch--my buddy has same one for sale now--he has had it only for a few months.

That's what has me on my toes haha Only time will tell

Rolesor · 14 January 2010, 01:28 AM

What do you guys think the odds are of a "Jubilee" dial coming to the DJII?

Was that dial designed as an anniversary dial? Not sure where I read that but if it is then I think that would hinder it coming to a new watch.. Could be very wrong though lol

Double_J · 14 January 2010, 01:45 AM

Something about the baton markers just works for me so much more than either the Arabic or Roman numerals. They're so clean and simple.

And as much as I enjoy my SS/WG/White Baton DJII, I sure would have loved the SS/WG model with an Ivory face to add a little touch of extra character.

WatchTimes · 14 January 2010, 02:43 AM

Thats the one I have!
I don't wear it too often as I am pretty rough on my watches but
I love it! With as rough as I am I tend to keep it aside for dressier
moments due the the PCL
