In love with new DJ41

Recently posted that I was "potentially" taking the plunge on a new DJ41...well "potentially" converted to "actually" and I have to say I am very smitten with my new purchase and it always helps when you are travelling and can claim back local sales tax!
My early impressions....three days....are lovely fit with the Jubilee bracelet and very comfortable....I think the dimensions and the balance of the watch really good....love the dial and it's lustre and clarity....think the clasp works really well....just get an overall excellent feeling about it
Hopefully the pics come through ok!!

One week in....

So it has adorned my wrist for a little over a week now and feelings unchanged - this is a wonderful piece and feeling blessed that I stumbled across it - hadn't even imagined these pieces would have hit the AD's yet - it is obviously a great dress watch but I have worn it with casual attire too and get more comments (positive) than when is business dress! Have had way more commentary than with any of my other Rolex watches - present wears or past - so overall you could say I am very happy with my latest purchase

Looks great! Is that the silver dial?

Love the smooth bezel/jubilee combo.

Perfection

The silver dial is the best one for the Date just and the most conservative. It works the best with a jubilee and flute bezel. Congratulations great watch.
