Never left it bro.

I wear the SS DJ at least 3 days a week, just love it. Of course it has the sentimental value to me, but I love it. I owned one of these when I first got into Rolex, and just really wanted one again. I actually bought it from my "other" AD in Dallas, the one in the Galleria.

Had it shipped to California and got it this weekend. I actually like going from this one at 40, to the PAM 217 at 47 and back to the DJ at 36mm. Wearing watches that are 36, 40, 42, 44 and 47 just keeps it fresh for me.

Thanks guys, not the first time I have owned this one. But something about it just always calls out to me.

A couple of quick pics outside from work.
