First ever INCOMING on TRF...
Hi All,

My first ever incoming on TRF.

This sort of commemorates an important and recent experience...someone lost way too soon. When my wife saw a picture of one like this she told me we had to have it as a "memorial" and here it is.

Love the classic look and to those nay-sayers...36mm is not too small.

36 is not too small for you. And that's what's important.

Beautiful watch and sentiment.

This is an awesome combo on the DJ; batons, fluted bezel, and jubilee... looks fantastic on your wrist too.

Beautiful! That exact configuration (steel case with fluted bezel, silver dial, and small roman numerals) is my favorite among the current Datejust lineup.
