Yes if you say so, it's the best-looking Rolex ever, and once you kindly pointed this out I felt I had no other option but to put on my heaviest pair of boots and stomp every one of my inferior-looking Rolexes to flattened smithereens as a philosophical statement in support of the great Reese Bobby truism "If you ain't first, you're last".

I'd take a picture to show you what the beautiful, broken fragments and shards of 7 loser Rolexes look like but as bad-timing would have it yesterday on a camera forum someone informed us that Nikons are the best, and I unfortunately owned a Canon.

Gotta be careful claiming "best" and "ever" especially when it comes to something as subjective as beauty. As someone earlier already stated...it's in the eye of the beholder.

I have a problem with the hands blending into the dial. I do like the RG over YG. DD's aren't my current favorites so I'd definately say no. I have a strong preference for the professional models.

That's nice and especially good for you as I can see by your Avitar you are a scientist and you work around lots of high energy electrical fields.

I hate Rolex facing inward roman numerals in most DJ's. (My wife's DJ has roman numerals facing outward, which does makes sense to me).

Just because of that, prefer baton dials!

This was my favorite of the DD2's and I think is the best looking Rolex to date. I wish they had this exact looking watch in 40mm as the deconstructed numerals do not look nearly as nice as this.
Mine are!!
