Datejust II 41MM

OK - Rolex lovers, I did it, I just purchased a 2001 DD I YG, but had concerns with it being so small 36MM, so I went to the Local AD in mind of getting a DSSD, and after putting that BRICK on my wrist, it was just SUPER crazy in weight, but look and behold the DD II TT, and its a perfect fit for me, dress it up or down, and larger than a 40MM, but smaller than 44MM.

My favorite dial on the TT DJ2, size looks spot on and the fluted bezel looks excellent.
