***Incoming***Grail Datejust***Heavy Picture Thread!!!***Pictured with Omega PO!

Here she is! Been waiting for this one for quite sometime!

Big thanks to DavidSW for tracking this baby down.

The pink dial paired with the rose gold is just sublime...
The color of the dial is so subtle, very silvery with just a glint of rose hue. A simply stunning combo!

She is my beauty, and pictured below with big brother. The Beast! Omega PO 8500! They make quite the pair, don't you think???

I know that there are those who think the 36mm Datejust is "too small." Well, I have a 7.5 inch wrist, and I will let the pics do the talking...

To each their own, but I flipped my DJ II for this one, and I couldn't be happier!

I just feel the watch is so simple, so clean, so classic, so elegant...

Enjoy the pics!

I'm going to enjoy that nice organic cucumber

Elegant DJ piece! While I'm more of a fan of the DJII, I still own a 16014 for the classic look. Enjoy it in good health.

Congrats. I had that exact watch a few years ago and is one of the watches I flipped and really missed. I probably received more favorable comments on that watch than all of my others combined . So beautiful and elegant. Enjoy!

It is small on the wrist, but it's certainly a beautiful watch. I recently sold my 18K DJ (70's model) because it's just too small. If it was 39-40mm I would have kept it forever.

The new DJII just doesn't have the same appeal for me, but maybe I just haven't seen 'the one' yet.

While I share your sentiments about the DJII, I just don't think the 36mm is too small on my wrist. And after all, that it what matters most.

I recently purchased the same Rolex model, but with a black Roman dial. I love the Rosegold with the black dial contrast. I also like the smaller size Datejust.

Congrats on your new "love" !!! May she always remain in your heart!!

I don't plan to own any TT watches in the near future, but if I did this would be the model I would get. I think it looks great.
