Incoming: First DJ for me

Don't think I've ever owned a 'dress watch' ? ... a couple of OP39s is about as close as I've got to something other than a sports watch.

As much as I love the jubilee/fluted combo on other folk, it just wouldn't get any wear with me. Will probably save for a jubilee though at some point ..

The oyster smooth bridges the gap between dress watch / sports watch. Just a small amount of bling for a change and I must say I'm enjoying it.

The oyster bracelet is great, I actually love the PCLs ... (maybe revisit that comment in a few months when I get fed up carrying a polishing cloth around constantly). The easy link extension works perfectly for me, when the wrist swells up a bit.

The blue dial is stunning. Dam difficult to photograph.

This is my favourite combination of dial, bezel and bracelet on this watch. Nice one

That's a beauty, great combination the blue dial with the smooth bezel. I bought exactly the same watch. Its got both a professional sporty look and the classic look, not many watches can pull off this.

Congratulations.

It may be difficult to photograph but that second shot is stunning. Probably my favorite Rolex under 10K right now.

I haven’t worn a Datejust for over 10 years, but the new DJ41 is such a nice model I couldn’t resist. Picked one up a couple of weeks ago. I love it.

Congrats on yours and enjoy!
