DateJust II wrist shots (only) thread

okay.... while celebrating at one of our local pubs with the wifey this afternoon, found myself not able to take my eyes off the DJII and thought why not have a wrist shot thread didicated to the new DateJust II.

with the increasing number of DJII getting accepted in the Rolex world, there are still loads of people "dissing" it, due to its new size and oyster bracelet option only.

so far there has been some awesome DJII wrist shots, but i think it'd be ideal to have them all in one thread - what do you say?

any sorts of wrist shots welcomed, as long as they adhere to the forum rules and is also family friendly - the more the merrier!

anyway, i will start... here are some of my wrist shots.

my wrist size is 7.25"

I do prefer this size over the 36MM. 36MM is too small for my 7.5 inch wrist

I just tried one of these on at my AD last night. Feels and looks BIG, in a good way. Pretty neat change for a dress watch.

36 fits perfectly on my 7 1/2 wrist. Funny how we look at the same thing and see something different. That's why there are watch forums, I guess!

I had a choice with the TT GMT 2c and the TT DJ 2 and fell in love with the DJ2, I guess its personal preference, and that it can be worn dressy or casual, but here is mine.

great looking one Hobo. this would be my other pick if i didnt want one with green details. it is a really classy and sharp looking piece of work. i went through the same thing with the TT GMTIIC, it was just too busy for me. its def. a personal preference.

Dan, the WG DII looks great. how do you feel about the size?

funny you posted this, because that's the exact one i tried on last week. it feels amazing and loved the size. the wifey suggested that i should get it as my next dressy Rolex.

just love that ivory dial.

Eric,
It's certainly a substantial watch. The solid gold feels heavy and nothing wrong with that. IMHO, the size is a bit over the top. I think a 39mm would have been a better choice for a dress watch. Guess I'm just used to my 36mm DJ. But then again, it's all relative to each wearer and if the wife is suggesting....................

I don't know if it's just me but if you are going to spend this much money on a watch, a heavy piece of metal would be worth the $$$$.

40mm, 41mm, or 39mm are PERFECTO!!

I was planning to get a TT Submariner or TT GMT IIc but the new Datejust TT 41mm got me thinking even harder now as my next purchase.

BTW,,,beautiful timepiece!!

Is this the 41mm or 36mm? Looks big.

I don't get why the DJII is getting such a bum wrap from so many TRFers! It's stunning!

Still waiting to see a some wrist shots of the silver dial / blue Arabic's and the black dial with Romans!!

Loving this thread - Kudos to the OP!

WOW! That is sweet! I really like the larger size without any question! I sold my DJ when I got my DSSD. I wanted the larger watch. I really want to get a DJ II. Thanks for sharing the pics!!
