I love the functional turning besel and the way of displaying months, if they could just reduce it to a 40mm and 12mm or less thin I would jump at it in a heartbeat. Otherwise, the datejust is my preference.

Oh for sure, they're an interesting model and I definitely understand the appeal of the movement. They do wear massive though, there's just so much dial and shiny bezel. I try not to judge peoples taste too harshly, but almost every wrist I've seen these on are at least an inch too small. Maybe Rolex thought they'd be too similar looking to the DJ at 40mm? I can see them trading well below retail once the heat dies off. We'll see though.
