Icon20 Datejust...with a twist PICS!!

Hi All

I am seriously considering buyin a datejust however i am only 22 and some of the plainer dials dont really do it for me.

I like the idea of a black mop dial with diamond dot.

Anyone have any photos???


Please all post your datejust pics of all different dials and we can see just how many different varietys we have!!

Also unusual dials in general.

I think a 2 tone DJ w/Black MOP dial w/Romans would be sharp

Fluted bezel on Jubilee of course

Sorry, I don't have a pic. This combo is not listed in the AD's book, but you can get it. I had them call

The only post I have with a Black / Tahitian MOP dial is this one:

Oh! And this one!



And perhaps this one:

Something like this would look stunning
This is aftermarket, but I know Rolex do MOP Roman dials.
Diamonds look good, but could you wear it everyday???

P.s. before anybody mentions it the number 8 is wonky LOL and it is marked T Swiss Made T and has no Lume let alone Tritium lume, Just IMAGINE

That is my favorite look in the Datejust. THe classic and instantly recognizable look of the TT Jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel and a champagne dial that the DJ has long been known for. I look forward to purchasing a DJ identical to this one in the future. Having a champagne diamond wouldn't hurt as well.

STUNNING!! Not a huge fan of the datejust line but I am a huge fan of YOUR datejust. what a brilliant choice. Great for a young gentleman. It says quality, fine taste, appreciation for craftsmanship, yet still understated so your peers and co workers don't think your a "show off".
Assuming you could afford 10x the value in a watch i think you have selected the perfect datejust.
Bravo
wear that one in good health my friend

Thank you for the comment 305GMTIIc, before i bought the watch, every time i thought of Rolex, the classic DJ w/ jubilee bracelet came to my mind so i had to have it.

Since you are looking for exotic dials, this one probably won't work for you but it works well for me.
