Fantastic!

I came sooo close to acquiring that exact copy when a local AD dropped the Rolex line.

Great looking watch Charles. I think you made a good decisioh because the fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet make it more stylish IMHO.

Wear it well.

Post more shots! I seriously think the dj has been so much improved that it really makes day date a difficult decision esp with super jubilee.

Thank you so much Karis. My wife is already eyeing my nightstand...I am going to have to keep this one under lock and key for a while! Hahaha

Thanks Grady. I always loved the way your DJ looked on Jubilee and finally had to jump in with both feet.

I agree with you. I can't imagine a DD looking much better. I will definitely be getting out the camera again tomorrow morning and posting more pics. Stay tuned!

Here is another pic of the DJ that I took this morning. After wearing the watch out last night, I cannot believe how comfortable the Jubilee bracelet is. I am very excited about this one.

LOL! Well, perhaps a mid-size is in order for the Mrs! Would she go for the same dial?

She has her heart set on the 31mm DJ and has always loved the White Roman dial, but she doesn't know which Bezel/Bracelet combination she likes best. One or two more trips to the AD and we should be able to get it all sorted out!

Hi Charles. My work computer blocks a lot of photos, so I just got to see your new watch, and man, it is a stunner. The white dial looks great, and congrats on getting it. Your photo is making me lust after mine even more! Hopefully it won't be long before the order is filled.

Your Datejust is a real beauty. Even though I am a recent convert, she (like you) has always had her eye on the white dial. I guess great minds think alike!

Thanks John. I am really thrilled with it. Which combination did you order? How much longer until yours arrives? I can't wait to see pics.

Thank you guys for all the wonderful feedback. I have had the chance to wear this one non-stop for the last few days and I have discovered a problem with the Jubilee bracelet...

It is so perfectly comfortable and lightweight that I keep patting my arm to make sure my watch has not fallen off! I guess my Sea Dweller has gotten me accustomed to a little extra heft. My expectations have definitely been exceeded.

The same watch you bought but with a silver dial. It was special ordered this week, so I'm probably looking at mid to late January before it gets in.
