Incoming.....the last of the DJ2's 116333.

[GMT Aviator]

So I took a trip to my AD today and finally pulled the trigger on a TT DJ2 I'd been considering for the last 18 months.

Now that Rolex has (unbelievably) consigned these models to the history books, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity of letting one get away.
I picked it up for a great price and couldn't be happier.

Personally I think this watch is a work of art. To me, the proportions are just perfect, despite the feelings of many that they are not true enough to the original DJ36 design, which in my eyes, simply sets it apart as being a fresh modern take on an old design and I'm saddened that this beautiful bold watch has finally fallen victim of its own 'dare to be different' styling. The wide open face, the large baton markers...simply lovely.

This one, the TT Ivory dial, is seen little by comparison to the other dial options often seen on the forum, and in my eyes, one of the nicest options they made, even though the others are also beautiful.

I think one day, these will likely become desired as they are the only DJ in history to break with tradition, to being bold and to going where no Datejust has gone before.

Just glad I've now finally got one in the collection.
