Deal done, new DJ acquired.

After a while contemplating, seeking advice (thanks) and negotiating the sale of my previous Rolex, I have bought my new DJ today :-)
Struggled to decide between white and blue faces, but I KNEW I had to have a Jubilee bracelet as my wife's looks so gorgeous.
Blue would have matched the wife's, but I finally decided that white would go with any clothing.

I got a very fair price - I think - for my GMT from BQ Watches in London, and 15% off the new DJ. A good deal for me :-)
It'll be interesting to see if anyone notices at work on Monday.

Great watch, I have the same watch in blue, and I would like to obtain another with a white dial as well. It's the only newer Rolex I own- great choice man..!

You have excellent taste! I once dreamed I flipped mine and woke up in a panic! This model is a keeper.

Well done Andy! Hope my pic of my white DJ helped you choose. I've dealt with BQ watches as well and they are good guys and offer good prices.

Hi,

Congratulations - lovely piece! You just can't go wrong with a Datejust, really. And the Jubilee is my favourite bracelet as well.

Great watch. You just can't beat a two tone datejust.
