Congratulations on a great choice, wear it in good health.

Tried the same watch on when I picked up my DSSD and it's a beauty.

Wow!! Congratulations!!
The new Day-Date is the most interesting watch to come along in Rolex's line up since the GMT Master, except possibly for the Deepsea.

I am really looking forward to seeing how these look on the wrist.

YES THAT IS IT! It is for sure bulkier in EVERY way than the old day date. It is really quite a watch...as far as discounts....NONE but i got 1000$ off my next purchase and 2 free cleaning and a new watch winder.....pic to follow but i need the watch!

Nice JJ. That one is stunning and looks great as well.
Is it WG or platinum? Definitely look more substantial than the older model.
