Incoming Datejust 36!
I was going to wait until Saturday to pick this up, but instead I got it today!

BNIB from AD. AD says it was delivered to them by Rolex Sept 2016. I took a few pictures of the bracelet as a reference for what the "stretch" looks like when brand new. Does it appear the same as you'd all expect?

Cheers,
Andrew

Excellent choice Andrew. Congrats on a beautiful and classic watch.
Just curious as to your wrist size as I'm thinking of a DJ36 too.

You and I have the same size wrist. I had originally thought that the DJ36 looked a bit small after wearing the Explorer and Black Bay but I'm starting to come around to it's size.

I've had 39mm watches before and even a 42mm speedmaster professional but now that I've started wearing 36mm watches I'll never turn back!

36mm is so much more comfortable!!
