This ones a keeper
It's so nice when you buy a watch and wearing it exceeds your expectations I bought this Thunderbird about 3 weeks ago and have worn it a lot super comfortable and a great change from my collection of SS black dial watches.

I love having it on my wrist

Lovely Datejust Turn-O-Graph John. My most recent Rolex is also a 2-tone Datejust with champagne dial, and I agree that the look, weight, and comfort of these models are are a nice switch from the more robust professional models.

Classic - think we'll see a swing back towards the champagne dials on Datejusts?
