Santa came early this year ...

Hi all,
I'm pleased to share with you the watch that Santa left under my tree this year ... well I helped him trading in my DJII that I didn't ever use due to the fact that I felt it too large for my wrist lately.

So now, few q&d (actually very dirty, unfortunately my mobile camera is not so good ... ) of my DJ 116234, still with all its plastic on and with the bracelet still to be resized ...











Now I'm back in the 36 mm DJ club ...

Thanks to everybody who helped me in taking this decision.

Ciao

Engi

Great piece - looks really sharp on the oyster bracelet with the PCL

Beautiful! Congrats! Well done. I did review some of your earlier photos on your DJII, and I have to agree that the fit of the 36mm offers a visual improvement. At least to me, and of course IMHO.

I am - of course - wearing my recently acquired 16200 as I write this.

The 116234 is very nice with the black stick dial!

Best,

A

BTW: I've been wearing only 36mm the last month. I looked at some of my larger watches today, but decided that I need more time with my very nice 36mm team (16200 and 14270 - perfect combo for sport, dress and casual wear).

Very nice piece!

Is it the plain black stick dial? Because I think I can make out the date through the cyclops and it looks red which I know is the red/black date wheel (roulette) offered on the stick dials.

Yes, it is the black dial with stick markers and the roulette date wheel.
