New Arrival - Shades of Grey

Wanted to wear this new one for a week straight before posting pics and offerings opinions. Really liking it due to versatility, as with most Rolexes. The silver dial and smooth bezel combo allow this watch to go relatively unnoticed, yet you know it's special. A big plus is it's very comfortable. I've had the fluted bezel before and if forced to choose...both!

Congrats on a beautiful DJII. It's one I'm also considering but I do have a question. Do you have any difficulty reading the time in lower lighting? I've read several posts on other threads that reference the contrast of the hands to the silver dial and that it's harder to see in low light conditions. I have 63 year old eyes so this is somewhat of a concern for me.

You and others are correct in that it is slightly harder but still possible to see in low light conditions when compared to a darker dial or Rolex sports watch. However, I justify it by having to glance at the watch just a little longer to tell the time.
