if any fellow rolex fans have instagram follow me jamesylakey and I will follow back. I put my watches on there now and then, with the exclusion of the DD as I don't want to rub it in peoples faces

Congrats on a great one. It is THE attention-getter, so wear it like a boss and no one outside your circle will say anything.
Welcome to the forum. We're a friendly lot until you ask us if it's safe to wear the DDII in the sauna and start another "Your Rolex And (fill in the swag)" thread! :)

Hi, I thought I would join the rolex forums after reading threads on here for a few months and using threads to help me decide on my latest purchase. A rolex Day Date 2 in Yellow Gold with president bracelet. (black dial and roman numerals)
My first purchase was a TT Yachtmaster white dial and I then got given a rolex TT date by my grandfather.
I also own a GMT ii BLNR (which I love because my work involves travel so is very handy, and looks fantastic :D)
Non rolex - I also own a Cartier Calibre De Cartier TT rose gold and stainless, and a Tag Aquaracer blue bezel & dial.

To be honest after getting the DD I have been exclusively wearing them and the others all just sit in my drawer, I find it too captivating to take off my wrist. The only issue I have with it is it gets a lot of attention which I don't like, but I guess that comes with the territory. Does anyone else get a lot of unwanted attention from their all gold model? I never had this issue with any of the others.
Thanks
James (I will be a regular as of now ;)
Welcome! Love your watches...that Yacht-Master is stunning for sure! Don't worry about the attention...you will hear it often here...just wear what you like and enjoy them. Can't wait to see your next addition to the beautiful watches you already have.
