Why do guys have to photograph watches with guns? I don't like it.

I'm not going to argue the finer points of the 2nd amendment with only 10 posts under my belt.

When you say "Andre the Giant", are you 7'3" with hands that make a basket ball look like a grapefruit? If so, than even the 40mm will look small on you. Sounds like a beautiful watch. Pics please.

I share the discomfort with gun/weapon 'pin up' images on this Forum. It is debatable whether guns make the USA safer or in fact fuel the murder rate here which is arguably one of the few activities we actually lead the world in these days [my 10 cents...]. Debating the constitutional right to bear arms is pointless here, however the Forum is supposed to be Rolex related. Could we not keep our focus on watches. I am sure the there are many weapon sites where interested warriors can find community.

By the way....NICE ROLEX! Great Mom!

So.... besides that, have you had the time to monitor the precison of your DJ?

A wristshot would be nice. What other watches have you owned since you think the DJ seems small on your wrist?

No I have not monitored the precision of the DJ yet.


I am still waiting for the AD to get the extra links for the band. The watch will not fit over my hand at this time. So I can not take any wrist pictures at this time. I never really wore wrist watches before.

Seems to me that Tom has got the point about the gun pic thing.

No need to give him any more hassle.

Well, I hope your AD is tossing the links in for free. Anyway, I've had some DJ's (ref. # 16234 - SS with WG bezel), which did not seem small on me when I owned them. I have had Rolex sport's models for some time now, and when I tried on a DJ 116234 (updated DJ version of the one I had), I also found it a bit to small. But I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it after having worn a sport's Rolex.
