Joined the Club!
After months of lurking and window shopping, primarily looking at sports models, last night I pulled the trigger on a gorgeous silver stick 116200 with super jubilee bracelet. I'm an attorney, so occasionally in a suit, but far more often in jeans, a t-shirt, and sandals (I am, after all, in San Diego). I think this beauty spans the spectrum, and will work for just about any dress or occasion. And I think it works well with my tattoo sleeve, which has been a challenge. Thrilled to finally join the club. Sport model next.

Hope you all don't mind too many pictures!

Yeah, that's a great choice! My wife has the same DJ (but with oyster bracelet) and it goes with absolutely everything, a true all-occasion watch.

Congrats and nice pics. Curious, are the sleeves a challenge for your profession? Mr. Rogers got away with it right?

Hulk is definitely on the short list. She's a beauty!

Mostly its because what came along when I was looking, but I do like it - I feel it helps the watch be a little more versatile, a little more appropriate for casual settings. I know the traditional wisdom is jubilee with fluted and oyster with domed, but I quite like this combo.

Didn't know that! I've got my own firm, so no boss, and when I'm in professional settings, my sleeves cover everything, so it hasn't been an issue in my life at all really. Just can't get neck or hand tats... yet.
