Datejust II photo request

Recently, the white face stick dial DJ2 has really caught my attention. It's such a clean looking watch. Please show me some pics (not necessarily limited to the white face) with various straps. I'd like to see how others have personalized this watch. Also, I'm heading to the AD to pick up my Smurf from service and will have a "look" around.

Its a great reference Chad.

I opted for the Blue face. Its clean looking and easy to read a quick glance. I think the smooth bezel goes best with this modern case size, (others may disagree).

Datejust II with the bezel changeover 🙂

Recently changed the bezel of Rolex Datejust II to the fluted one from the same authorized Rolex Muscat boutique and this is how it looks now after the bezel changed .I still love the smooth bezel too but being an Indian,I just thought I will be in sync with the preferences of my country which was more of the fluted one ,so ultimately I have both the bezel with me the smooth and the fluted.So thought could switch them according to my whims and fancies
The damage to the wallet has been around $ 1500 though lol

I love the white dial. It's currently on my wish list, either the 36mm, the DJII, or possibly a DJ41 in SS if introduced at Basel 2017.

Regular service. $1160 for the overhaul and new crystal. I requested no polish and they actually listened. I may start a thread and post pics if there's enough interest.

I tried that watch on again today. I've already contacted DavidSW because I'll be in Orlando next week for business. Going to look at the 116300, Milgauss, and AP 15400.

I love these!!

I am feeling the sick obsession to get a white face, fluted white gold DJII!
Unreal - they look so good.

No. I started a thread a few weeks ago about it. The RSC said there was a scratch on the crystal that would affect the water resistance and they wanted to change it. However, the cyclops was whop sided. I got it back with a "perfect" cyclops. I still think they made the claim to get me to pay for their poor QC. Whatever. It's fixed and it was time for service anyway.

That is a sharp watch, but just has too much bling factor in person. I reaaly like the smooth bezel.

Silver dial. Liked white too, but silver was smoother for me and matched a two tone ring I always wear.
