The most beautiful DATEJUST

Hi, guys!
This is my 31 year old Datejust 16234 and it will be with me until I die...




...but I'm thinking of buying another Datejust and I think this new blue 126234 is very beautiful.




What is your favorite Datejust of all time?

Beautiful Datejust! Glad to see a young person go for something other than the standard sub

So many great ones. For me I still love my DJII after five years of ownership. Fits my wrist perfectly.

For me it would be a 36 white Roman dial with fluted and jubelee.
OP aren't you looking at the modern version of the same watch with a blue dial instead of black? Why not go for the opposite of your watch, oyster bracelet, smooth bezel and Romans?

Nice piece. I know you're a math teacher but heck one look at that paper gave me a headache, all I could identify was the numbers, everything else is foreign to me... I'm a general math person 2 + 2 =4...

I’ve always considered my 16013 I purchased in the 80’s a looker. Will never part with this one.
