Picked this up in Tokyo today

Here's a quick grainy iPad shot in low light ... This is the 41 mm DJ II with a silver dial.

I started with a Datejust over 20 years ago and now have come full circle. This one is very simple, which I like. My first Datejust, now long gone, was a steel and gold model with a champagne dial and a jubilee bracelet, which I also liked very much.

Congratulations! This is my favorite 116300 dial, along with the silver with arabic numerals.

Nice Otto!

Wish I had been there for the pick up and unveiling. It is a beauty. Congratulations! DJ II could be my next. Was waiting for the smooth bezels to come out.

Very nice, Otto. It is where I started, too, many years ago...silver stick with stainless oyster, although not 41mm of course. Hard to beat that combo.
