BLUE obsession

Guys,

I spend a lot of time online and @ AD looking at this DateJust 36mm 116234.
I miss the blue on my fluted DJ II that I recently flipped for my SubC black. I did this as the DJ II was semi casual and dressy at the same time.

1- Disliked the scratches on the polished steel clasp on the DJ II which annoyed me. The SubC can take a beating and is going to be my every day watch.
2- Always wanted a Rolex with diamond dial and Jubilee bracelet

Now I am eyeing this bluesy and can finally have a dress/diamond watch in the blue color I like with a classic Jubilee bracelet. What do you think? Looking to bring it home by the 29th this month.

Jubilee, fluted bezel and blue dial... what's not to like? Personally thought I'd go with Roman's on that combo! Congrats in advance.

The Datejust with Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel is a classic. Personally, not a fan of diamond dials, but do love the blue dial. You should also know that the centre links of the Jubilee bracelet are polished too, but do not show/hide scratches very well. Can't think of a reason why you should not pick this one up. It will compliment your Sub nicely.

Blue sunburst dial is very nice. That DJ would be even more dope with a oyster bracelet, to get a more modern touch to it.

Personally, I think it looks better in sticks than diamonds... but with a watch this nice, it's kinda nitpicking.

It's beautiful. My first Rolex was a datejust blue baton dial on jubilee. That was back in 1996.
