Pure Simplicity, Pure Beauty....
Going to Pre Owned Dealer to close the deal for a quite reasonably priced Cartier Santos Two Tone...However, after putting it on my wrist the store guy and me agreed, for my wrist, the Cartier is way too small...

Then he offered me this like new SS Datejust with Rhodium and Roman number dial...the price is higher, but after putting it on my wrist, I fell in love with this baby....

The price is good...for a complete set pre owned SS datejust dated mid 2008(USD 4.000)...

So I closed the deal for this Rolex...and went back to office...as a USD 4.000 poorer, but a happier guy...

Stunning. Everyone owes it to them self to get a Datejust at some point in their life. I personally love my 116200 with Romans.

Congrats. Great example. I miss my SS 36mm DJ. I will get another when I track down the right 4.5m serial piece. Every collection should have one. My dj2 is great but sometimes you just feel like an original.

Very nice Rolex, congratulations. Don't think of it as spending you just transferred your wealth from a liquid to a solid, you still have the $4K in a more useful form.
