Congratulations on a great choice, wear it in good health.

Tried the same watch on when I picked up my DSSD and it's a beauty.

Wow!! Congratulations!!

The new Day-Date is the most interesting watch to come along in Rolex's line up since the GMT Master, except possibly for the Deepsea.

I am really looking forward to seeing how these look on the wrist.
