Through the booze and pills I am surprised you noticed your arm much less a watch.

Hmmm, could it have been arabics or batons? In older versions of the roman dials the hands had a small strip of lume but the current versions are just solid WG now. The actual roman numerals have never had lume as far as I know.

Karis, that white Roman dial DJ is absolutely gorgeous.

Marvellous photos of all three - thanks for posting them for us.

The DJs are a great models and I'm glad that you're happy with your great collection.

Thanks Neil!!! I will say that the DJ/DD line just makes my knees weak!

Your DD is so beautiful! I'd love to see a WG version with the white roman dial! I can't pull off the YG.

Thanks, Karis - I love my YG DD, even though he spends most of the time hibernating in the safe.

I bet the WG version looks stunning - I'd like to see one. I wonder if anyone here actually has one?

Still, if your numbers come up, there's always the Platinum DD - that must be an awesome watch and quite heavy, too, I would think.

Overall the DJs and DDs must be the most versatile in terms of the myriad of different versions available - I love them all.

I don't think I've seen anyone here post a WG DD. Ahhh, the platinum! And that glacier blue dial is something too! I've tried it on at an AD and what heft it has!

You know Karis you start a thread called "Even Better the Second Time Around!" and it just keeps going. I start a thread a thread called "Even Better the Second TIme Around!" and the few that even notice just look at it like a turd in the punch bowl. Guess I am finally figuring out my limitations.

Joe, I think Karis has the advantage with her model-esque hands.

I love that watch! I wanted the roman numerals but it had to be ordered and I didn't want to wait.
