Yup, I actually purchased a watch with polished center links, and I think I love it. I have always been a professional series guy, buying well over a dozen Subs, SD'ers, GMT's and Explorer II's. I decided to go outside of my normal comfort zone and buy a Datejust II this time. I actually went to my AD thinking about a 114060, but since I did not love my 116610, it gave me some reservations.

When I first saw this dial combo from the official pics at Basel a couple of years ago, I about fell out of my chair, I loved it. I have always been a big hand, lots of lume and lume dot kind of guy, so when I fell for this dial, I found it kind of odd.

Everytime I have gone into my AD, I have always stared at this watch, but I never had the guts to buy it. We sized it yesterday and I walked around a bit trying to decide, I was so indecisive it was pathetic. I could not get over how comfortable it was on the wrist, perfect height, perfect weight, the clasp was centered perfectly on my anterior wrist, it was perfect. The grey dial is just amazing, I just love grey dialed watches.

I had second thoughts for a couple of hours at my AD, yea, I was there a couple of hours. Thank goodness they know me and I have purchased many watches from them, or they probably would have tried to send me on my way.

I think the smooth bezel DJ II's are really a darn near perfect sport watch. I think the fluted is more dress while the smooth gives it a more sporty look. I figured, heck, I have owned many polished Panerai's, so why not a polished Rolex case.

I have already taking it swimming and for a run, great watch. That was one of my reservations, I always buy divers because I live in my pool, well, the DJ II's is just as comfortable in the pool/ocean as my other divers. I will never go 330ft and as we all know, these DJ's could go well over that depth before any issues.

Overall, I am pretty excited. I think I opened my eyes a bit yesterday and now have a watch that I will enjoy for many years. I think the DJ II's are a perfect daily wearer, there is nothing that this watch can't do, and it will look good doing it.

We TT oyster band fans have known for years that smooth bezels look AWESOME with PCLs...

Mastergreenhand · 8 September 2013, 08:57 AM

Looks awesome, congrats. I find myself strangely attracted to the Roman numerals on the DJII. I usually don't like them, but this watch has me changing my mind. The more pictures I see, the more i want to go check one out in the flesh. Looks perfect on you.

Sam Philip · 8 September 2013, 08:57 AM

Congrats!

Robb · 8 September 2013, 10:50 AM

Trevor, huge congrats on that beauty!!! Congrats on stepping over the edge and finally purchasing a PCL watch. I know you have been thinking about it for a long time now. I've never seen that grey dial and it looks amazing!!!

Jack T · 8 September 2013, 11:09 AM

Nice watch and nice photos. I have a DJ with a fluted bezel, but I think the DJ II is perfectly suited with a smooth bezel, just beautiful. Also, your pics really highlight the PCL's. Enjoy it.

Glidelock · 8 September 2013, 11:22 AM

Love it!

Congrats on the watch. Looks great

AGREED! I am a big PCL fan, on the right watch of course. I'd never do it to my Sea Dweller, or my EX Sub C/Deepsea… However it's stunning on the GMT II C, Milgauss, DJII etc…

Great choice, it's a beauty.. Enjoy it

texastexter · 8 September 2013, 01:13 PM

I love Roman Numeral Rolexes!

benlee · 8 September 2013, 01:36 PM

Excellent Choice! Love that dial. Congrats!

I have the same DJ2 with the same dial, but a fluted bezel. It's now currently my favorite watch.

Mauiguy · 8 September 2013, 01:43 PM

I agree - the DJII is a very versatile timepiece. I love the versions that have arabic or roman numerals with the smooth bezel on the oyster bracelet. This one looks magnificent on your wrist! Congrats!

Mauiguy · 8 September 2013, 01:45 PM

Wow Ben, the fluted bezel looks great too. I guess I just like the DJII period!

Love that watch. Never wanted a DJ or DJII until I saw that combo! It is so so clean.

GradyPhilpott · 8 September 2013, 03:16 PM

Phil t 32 · 8 September 2013, 06:51 PM

Stunning, not because its new but I'd describe it as fresh and smooth if you know what I mean, very classy!

You nailed Trevor, Dj and I will ad Day Dates will handle everything we put them through in real life !

karmatp · 8 September 2013, 11:14 PM

Thanks guys and gals, I appreciate the feedback.

Day two now and I think I love the thing. I am really amazed at how comfortable it is on my wrist and I think the overall proportions of the watch are just perfect. It does not flop around, yet it has just the right amount of weight, it is fantastic.

watchwatcher · 8 September 2013, 11:58 PM

Maybe outside the box, but definitely out of the park! Congrats! Great looking watch.

rolexmania16 · 9 September 2013, 04:40 PM

x 2.

If I were to buy a DJ it would be with Roman numerals.

Griffi · 9 September 2013, 10:51 PM

Very nice. Timeless watch!

gilv · 10 September 2013, 01:10 AM

Congrats on a great watch. Nice write up also. Like you, I have become smitten with the DJ II. It really is a great everyday sport, dress, whatever watch due to its looks and comfort. I have Romans also.
