I previously had a Tudor BB41 (the real one, without the bezel), so I was really interested in the 36mm DJ with a jubilee.

Anyway, the promotion went through yesterday. It's the biggest professional leap in my career. The nearest AD is usually out of Rolex or has very little, very expensive stock. Anyway, I figured I would go down and at least put my name in for the blue DJ 36 with the fluted bezel.
I got to the AD and they had two pieces: Yachtmaster and a DJ 36 on a jubilee. At that point, I tried on the DJ and it fit perfectly, no resizing needed. This was the watch.

As I was buying the piece a signing, etc, three people came in inquiring about similar Rolex models, only to find out they just missed it. It was literally meant to be. It's not going to be my daily, at least not when I'm working from home, but it will always be my go-to in upscale events, dinners, and important meetings.

Double congratulations. I would however wear it at home and enjoy it myself ;-)

Congrats on your promotion.
Enjoy

RKTINC1 · 10 March 2021, 10:57 PM

Congratulations. I bought myself a fluted jubilee DJ just like that in 1996 after my first big promotion. White Roman dial. My idea was that it would never go out of style. I guess 25 years later I was right.

It has been my good luck charm all that time. Enjoy
