My new DJII

if anyone remembers a few weeks ago, I put up a post about whether I should get the new submariner or the datejust II. I'd like to say thanks to Father John, I have made the purchase through Tara Jewelers in Buford, GA. Here are some pictures. In other exciting news is that I'll be getting a new milgauss LV next week.. 2 new rolex within 2 month,i think i have the bug...

You THINK you have the bug! No, you HAVE the bug! But enjoy the "illness" and wear your new catch in good health. It's a beautiful DJ, congratulations!

Great looking DJ II

Love the blue numbers - do they glow blue in the dark?

I guess I haven't quite got used to my new glasses yet, or my screen's playing up - or both!!

It looks great regardless and I can't wait to see some shots with the blue numbers glowing in the dark

No problem with your new glasses, Neil

Everybody thinks that the watch is TT from the pics.

Actually is a SS watch !!!!!!
Only the fluted bezel is WG which actually looks like SS

Thanks for the reassurance, Panos

You've saved me the cost of another eye test. I can't believe how the central links on the Oyster bracelet look like Rose Gold.

There's no doubting, however, that jianliu1 certainly has a beautiful DJ and I can see why it's your favourite DJ, too
