the more watches I have...

The more and more highfalutin watches I have, the more I like, appreciate and prefer my trusty and classy Datejust.

Good for you Juan It doesn't have to be a 60K Platona to love or look good on your wrist .. By the way it is a beauty!

I know the feeling. Nice 1603 with a black dial? Hard to beat, I like your style buddy.

By the way, for those concerned about sizes and so forth, my wrist is 7 5\8” around. Thus, I prefer 36mm watches, and 40mm at most. I feel anything larger than 40mm looks disproportionate on my wrist.

Looks great. How long have you had this watch?

Twenty years. I believe I bought it in 1997 or thereabouts.
