So these are OK, but a MOP dial isn't to go along with the diamonds?? Too "Flashy"?? This version is MILD compared to other FACTORY options available or going down the "Iced out" road. Mine will stay factory for the value and rarity. A lux model for the collection. Who knows where it will end up in my family or with my grandkids, but I'm sure it will be well-liked and admired well after I have passed this Earth to the Dark Side of the Moon. https://www.exquisitetimepieces.com/...ced-out-rolex/

This thread reminds me why, after years of wearing Rolex, I now wear a Blancpain FF.

Love to see a side by side of your Sub and the new DJ.
I tend to wear leather strapped watches(PP or a 36mm fluted 14k DJ when getting dressed up. However, since that’s rare, they don’t see much light. |

Congrats on your stunning incoming! I love diamonds and MOP. I’d rock it, in a heart beat, while wearing my jeans and ny favorite Led Zeppelin tee….

Congrats OP!
It’s funny to me; whenever someone posts “should I buy this panda Daytona or a 36mm DD?” everyone universally says “buy what you like” and “buy what you want to wear; screw the hype.” Here’s a guy buying exactly what he wants, and because it’s maybe not the most popular DJ configuration for a man he’s getting a hard time from some over it. I get it’s a watch forum and the point is to share opinions, whether dissenting or in favor, but I for one am stoked for the OP! Not because it’s a watch I’d personally wear or buy based on my style, but because he’s truly enjoying the hobby and buying what makes him smile, resale value and hype be damned. Good on you OP!

I will probably round out my Trifecta Rolex leather case roll collection with a solid gold Day Date Presidential with what I personally like vs what the Forum masses feel is a HOT watch...yet another black-face steel Rolex with some shit rubber band. I'm also considering the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Duo Tribute Chronograph in Black/Gold..... is that a "Man approved" complication at $40K?? https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-...graph-q389257j |

That Reverso is cool! I’d maybe consider a RG DD since you have a couple YG TT pieces already (if sticking with Rolex for your 3rd). A Patek Calatrava could be a really cool add if going for something more formal as your third piece

Yes OP you are correct, we are only buying SS subs because of “cost issues” and “cost-entry point”, and secretly we aspire to one day have the resources to buy the “OG classic” TT sub or the “ultimate top of the food chain” MOP dial DJ with diamonds. I don’t think we quite understood the first 4 times when you mentioned the exorbitant price of this wonderful DJ but your 5th post about how the price is correlated with a watch’s superiority really drove it home for us. Your powers of deduction are extraordinary, I simply can’t let you waste them on this forum when Rolex could use the manliest CEO it’s ever seen, please show them how it’s done.

Thank you for the feedback. I need to see a rose gold on my wrist as I know it's the "NEW" metal - I'm an 80's man so Gordon Gecko comes to mind. LOL I really like that Reverso for the technology and Retro look, along with the history of the Maison Jaeger! The "Watchmakers Watch"

The choice MUST be a SS Sub or 50 lashes and off to the dungeon!! There are many other horology choices in this hobby. I wonder why other Swiss watchmakers use the term Unisex?? |

Interesting thread. As a female, who prefers watches that guys wear, I’ve never gotten the kind of push back, that you are getting, on this incoming. I’ve never had my femininity challanged, over my choices of 39-42mm SS divers. In fact, I ‘ve had only positive feedback, on my choices. I wonder why it’s so different, for you, with this particular watch. As far as I’m concerned, your incoming DJ is a beautiful piece, period. OP, it is definitely not YOU, who needs his testosterone level checked…. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
