Congrats !

I’m not usually a fan of the 36, but it looks perfect on you !

It's a slippery slope, isn't it? Tell me why I'm now looking at Hulks?? But my husband says we'll have to share that one :)

Congrats on your first! Beautiful choice.

It’s definitely a slippery slope. Try not to spend too much time on TRF, we are all enablers...

Everybody is lusting after sports models, and they are cool...but the classic, quintessential Rolex in my book is the 36mm Datejust. What a great place to start! It’s a beauty.

Congratulations on your promotion, your incoming child and your new Rolex!

Amazing looking piece. Congrats. There is something about the 36mm - it is proportioned perfectly. Wish I had smaller wrists!

A Classic Classy Classic :D Great choice! Congratulations on your promotion and imminent fatherhood! Store it on your wrist and if you must take it off... store it dial-up in the box or treat it to a well-made watch roll made by Everest (no imitators from Amazon). Oh and don't ever sell it :) Cheers man!
