Dj thoughts and a shout out for some pics

Okey i just ordered a new watch but then exact when i pusch the order button i feel the need to start searching for "the next one"

I have had a dj i my mindy for a long time but im nota fan of the vintage braclets....
Want a sturdier feel to a braclet and a rolex is to me a watch thats made to be worn with a braclet (can say that a gold DD is perfekt on leather) but a steel/gold dj is something special!!

The thing is im thinking about a new 116233 or a 116234(steel with a white gold bezel)
And i have found out that it's hard to find pic's of these watches in real life but there's a lot of boooring catalog pics and even moor boooooooooooring boxpictures....


I really like the 116234 but the pcl on the braclet puts me off and a all steel jubilee is something that i dont like ... But then we have the 116233 with jubilee ! Thats a nice toy!


So please PUCTURES

PLZ !!

Here's a pic of my 116234...and I would have to differ in saying that I like the PCLs on this model as it's a bit more 'dressy'...but the oyster bracelet is nice as it's less dressy and 'busy' looking than the jubilee (in my opinion) and if the PCLs bother you that much, you can always scotchbrite it.

Loved me 116233. Had to go for the Daytona, but I figured it would make getting a DD that much sweeter one day.

Absolute stunner, this is the next watch on my list. Love how the oyster bracelet gives it a more modern and versatile twist. Did you see the video feature Hodinkee did on that exact model?
