Gave the new Datejust II day off!

Been wearing my new Datejust II for a little over a week straight now so in an abundance of caution in fear of wearing it out, gave her the day off and went back to old faithful. A fabulous daily for me for the last 4 years, a Ball NEDU black dial. It has been an excellent daily driver for me but suspect the new Rolex will be back on the wrist tomorrow! Hope the Ball doesn’t get jealous! Enjoy!

Wouldn't want to wear out the new Rolex!! I have several Ball watches and have been highly impressed with the fit, finish, and overall quality and reliability of the models I have. In my opinion, at the Ball price point, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Funny I gave my Air King the day off after 10 in a row and went with my Datejust II

Agreed hence the difficulty peeling it off my wrist for 10 days!

Coming from using a Ball and in the market for a datejust II Im curious to know how easy it is to switch between the two specifically in terms of the lume. Thanks
