Whole collection traded......

After a year and a half of NO watch moves, I felt the need to get busy. I traded my BLNR, DJII 116300 blue Romans, and a Tag Carrera leather strap for two (shown below). I rebought an old favorite (DJII slate grey green Romans). I always get sick when I'd see one at an AD. So, I brought him back! I'm really focusing on getting back to dressing really well for work again so I went with two fairly dressy pieces. An Omega beater will be a few months away. The BLNR is gone but not forgotten. Thanks to all the enablers and to OCROLEXGUY and SohAIS for the transactions!

I'd kind of gotten talked out of TTs from the forum but this watch was love at first sight, and I'm thrilled to have it back after a two year break!

Yeah I like this dual Datejust II collection. If you know what you like in terms of look and function you have some nice versatility there with dial and metal choice.

That single white stick at the 9 position on the Roman dial makes no sense to me, functionally or aesthetically. Maybe there's something I'm not understanding?

Anyway, congrats on (re)acquiring your heart's desires.

Best,
Hilo

Great dress pieces which I know is what you were looking for my friend. Both are equally great pieces. I really like the black with stick markers and the deep green roman markers are great with that dial and TT bracelet. Major Congrats!
