First Post-Basel Incoming!

I actually made this purchase a few days before Basel. It's such a classic that it felt good pulling the trigger before seeing the new releases. After seeing the general direction Rolex appears to be headed with it's case sizes, I feel even better. Very excited about this watch!

First Post-Basel Incoming!

Lighting is subpar, so apologies in advance... here it is!



Backstory -- The two-tone white roman 16233 Datejust has been on my radar for the longest time, it's one of my favorite DJ combos. Just a classy, clean look that kept calling to me. A few weeks ago, I acquired a 116234 and was floored at how perfect it looked and felt on my wrist. So when the opportunity to buy this immaculate F-Serial 116233 presented itself, I pounced. Bracelet is going to get sized tomorrow, but I'm loving it so far. The dial is stunning. Can't wait to see it in natural light!

With the rest of the collection. White roman 14000m is with the gf. I sure love the white dials!
