Finally! DateJust 116233!
Hey all, just wanted to share my first BNIB 116233! It feels great to finally buy my first , of many, Rolex's. It was between the SubC (Date or ND), 16710 Pespi (Modern), or the Prez 18038.
But what sold me on the DJ was the new super jubilee bracelet. Its so comfortable. Has great wrist feel and presence. I thought the 36mm would feel small but it doesn't on my 7" wrist. The watch has a great weight. I also opted for the champagne dial with luminous indices. Just ecstatic with the purchase. Already eying my next purchase, an SEL 16613/116613 bluesy. 😎

Very nice!! Could you post more photos of the DJ on your wrist, please? Your wrist is almost the same as mine.
I'm contemplating whether to get DD 118138, DD118238 (president bracelet) or same one as yours DJ 116233! |

Sure! Yeah I wanted the 118238 but a tad out of my budget this round. It's on the long list, lol. I have only a couple from today. I'd be glad to take some more tomorrow in natural light. I will say it doesn't feel that much smaller then the old gen 166xx. The solid bracelet links, beefy clasp, wid lugs, and case thickness really make this watch feel substantial. I tried it back to back with the SubC and while was close I still opted for the DJ. The bracelet just catches so much light. It's simply gorgeous.

Congrats. The Jubilee is the most comfortable bracelet in my collection.
The 36mm fits just fine.

Very nice. Great choice. I think my next purchase will be a Datejust. I like the two tone jubilee bracelet but fear it is too old looking for me. (I'm 25)

I thought the same thing but honestly The jubilee is "trending" in fashion. At least that's what my fashions conscious girlfriend says, lol. Either way trendy or not this style has stood the test of time in watches. I know it'll never be out of place. And I'm 27 😎. I say go with your gut |
