This one has been on my wish list for awhile.

It really has been a conflict in my mind because I utilize the date function every day. Might delegate this as a weekend watch.

First sunburst dial too.

This one has been on my list for awhile- post an update after a month in! I was also concerned about the date function....

It's such a cool watch. Got close to buying one about 5 years ago, but the date thing hung me up, as well. For one reason or another I just haven't ever been able to pull the trigger, but still admire it from a far...

I got over the "date thing" and have been wearing my white one a lot. Turns out I like the symmetry of the dial -and am one of those that loves the lightning-bolt second hand. (But I have to have a Submariner with the date (go figure).

Perfect weekend watch & pandemic watch- who the hell knows what day it is, anyway.

Wear it in good health!

First, Congrats on a sweet watch!

Second, if you wanted a date why not this (or this minus fluted if your not into that)?

That’s actually my current pair of watches I’ve own. I love the exp 2. It has been my absolute favorite out of everything I’ve owned. That includes a YG submariner.

Well. I love a date function, that’s just a fact. But the other side of things is the milgauss is just a unique watch. The blue dial is it’s own shade, the orange minute markings around the perimeter of the dial, the seconds hand, and the green crystal just make it *cool*. It’s quirky and combines three of my favorite colors.

I also adore fluted bezels. But as it’s not an option here. Smooth will do.

I fully intend to fill the empty DJ spot in my heart with a blue/fluted/jubilee 36mm as I think it’s more classic in terms of a datejust. I do love your DJ41 though too. The constant Rolex dilemma
