DJ back on a Jubilee

When this lovely watch arrived, I decided to wear it on an Oyster, and so sold the Jubilee it came with intending to buy a 78360. Inevitably, within days I found myself doing a U-turn and buying another Jubilee - mind you, it's a relatively new one with no stretch whatsoever, sourced from our very own Jeremy. Not only did he sell me a lovely bracelet, but he's a genuinely nice guy and dealing with him was a pleasure.

Anyway, I mounted it this evening and it looks lovely.

Very nice, very nice indeed.

By the way I think that's the way it was meant to look.

Tony, the irony of it all is that I sold you this jubilee after buying a NOS 78360 for my 16220! That's hilarious. Hopefully I don't find myself in the same boat as you going back. As soon as I get my DJ back from the watchmaker I'll post some pics...

It's a kind of bronze colour. I've only seen one other, actually.
