Picked up steel dj

Picked up this beaut yesterday.

What do you think about the azzuro blue colour vs the bluesy vs the dark blue which Rolex offers..

Oh I forgot the platinum ice blue .... That colour feels so cool. Name:  IMG20220518173152.jpg

I personally much prefer the darker blue on the DJ's (or the ice blue on the DD's), but it's only my personal taste. Everyone has different likes/dislikes and I'm weird (I like the old Air King for example)!

Interesting - this one has got me back into the DJ buzz a bit. I had the darker blue, just didn’t sit with me. I think it is the fluted bezels. But this with smooth is fantastic, especially in person. Congrats!

I have the exact same piece, on the jubilee bracelet.

An absolutely beautiful watch.

Very cool! Gotta say I didn’t think I was a fan of smooth bezel DJ’s but I’ve seen a couple this week and I think they are growing on me. Congrats!

Azzuro blue could be the best blue in the lineup.

I just don't like Romans.

Would love to see this colour in real life. Reminds me of summer, the Italian coast etc.

Have the exact same DJ, but on a white Roman dial, oyster and smoo. Love the watch in both white and blue dial colors! Nice piece!

I really love the bright blue (DJ41/36). It shimmers, it changes colours from a deep ocean blue depending on light.

The Azurro is just as pretty but a different shade. It's lighter. And you don't see too many of them. And you have to like Romans.

It's actually very pretty in person.

Congrats! For a while I wasn't thinking the roman numerals, but it has grown on me over the years.
