Finally got my holy grail today!!!

After a month of patient waiting, my AD got my new Datejust II in. It looks better than I thought it would!! I think I like the black roman numerals with the dark been outline the most - feels fantastic on my wrist too!! I must say, this has been a great year! - A new baby girl, and a new baby Datejust II!!! Now if my doctors at Johns Hopkins can get me back to good health, this would by far be the best year of my life!!!! Besides, I have a beautiful baby girl to love and a sweet Datejust to sport around town!!

It looks great. I love my TT DJII as well. In fact, I just stopped by my AD about an hour ago to get my bracelet ultrasonic cleaned and then I tried on a few watches to determine what my 2nd Rolex will be. My favorite for a second was the DJII WG/SS! I guess I just really love the DJIIs.

Beautiful, congrats! The slate/green contrast on these DJII's looks even more stunning in person IMHO.
