I have wanted a SS Rolex to compliment my TT GMT II for a while now and I decided today to screw it, sell some stock and buy it.

I wander into my AD and started looking around and they had just received today the new DateJust II, the one I liked was fluted white gold bezel, polished oyster bracelet, dark blue stick dial, gorgeous watch..huge (41
1mm)

My stock settles on Monday so I asked the dealer if he would hold it until Monday and he said "take it now, we'll settle up on Monday" I was about to do that when I mentioned my love for the GMT II Pepsi and he told me that he has a dealer friend who has a new one he could get for me. The price on the DateJust is $7575 - 20%, he will call me tomorrow with the price on the Pepsi

What would you do? That new DateJust II is beautiful, he gave me a great price. The Pepsi is a classic but I do already have a GMT, it's a tough call.

Which one and why please?

Pepsi GMT not in production anymore, a true classic. You can always buy the new Datejust. Good luck!

Art 1 · 9 September 2009, 10:19 AM

Since you have a GMT I would suggest the DJ.

kcmo · 9 September 2009, 10:43 AM

Go with the DJ....you already have a GMT

The Rolex Shark · 9 September 2009, 11:09 AM

Go for the II all the way baby.

Go with the DJ II...you said it yourself you already have a GMT....One sport and one formal...

Rolesor · 9 September 2009, 12:35 PM

DJ II is amazing, definitely consider that one!

mcneguy · 10 September 2009, 03:46 AM

Well, I decided and if I had a clue as to how to upload an (albeit awful) picture taken with my Blackberry, I would.

mcneguy · 10 September 2009, 03:51 AM

And here it is...my new DateJust II SS Blue dial..Sorry about the pic...

kcmo · 10 September 2009, 06:07 AM

Congrats! I think you made the right choice!!!

mcneguy · 10 September 2009, 06:14 AM

May I beg your indulgence one more time. I have decided to buy the Datejust II over the GMT Pepsi but do you prefer Blue above or White below..

heresiarh · 10 September 2009, 06:19 AM

DJII is amazing. Great dress watch.

harvey · 10 September 2009, 06:21 AM

mark, the one with the white dial is a winner... the blue one does nothing for me...

kcmo · 10 September 2009, 06:21 AM

Mark, I prefer the white

R1@160@alltimes · 10 September 2009, 06:27 AM

I am a fan of blue dials

The GMT Kid · 10 September 2009, 06:36 AM

With stainless, I would go for the blue dial.

ocwatching · 10 September 2009, 08:16 AM

white buddy...I saw the DJII as well this past weekend...beauty
congrats!

WatchSnob · 10 September 2009, 08:41 AM

Have the DJ II with the Rhodium dial and blue arabic numerals. To me it was the best of both worlds.

The blue did nothing for me really... If I had about 20 or 30 other watches and endless cash Id love the blue one.

My vote is for the white of the options you posted.

MortgageGuy · 10 September 2009, 08:43 AM

Get the blue...the white is too plain imo

mcneguy · 10 September 2009, 09:14 AM

They had the rodium win blue numbers but they looked purple to me.

sushisummo · 10 September 2009, 09:26 AM

White one looks best.......but again you are the one wearing it.......whichever one says "TAKE ME HOME" then that is the one you get.........good luck.

ingoodtime · 10 September 2009, 10:28 AM

I am a fan of blue dials. That said, with a classy watch like that, I think you will get more wear with teh white dial as you can really wear it with casual or dress clothing.

Andad · 10 September 2009, 06:52 PM

Go for the Pepsi.
There will be more DJ 11 dials coming out so why not hold off?

dardeca · 11 September 2009, 12:58 AM

I like white!

Smokeytreats · 11 September 2009, 07:00 AM

White is Right

mcneguy · 11 September 2009, 02:29 PM

I agree that white would be the way to go however I ultimately went with the Pepsi. I have wanted that watch for years, the price was right and they are getting more difficult to find. I put it on and it said "I'm home". Now maybe I'll buy the other two bezels as well.

I do appreciate everyones chiming in on this.
