My first Rolex, I have decided!

Hello all,
After some contemplating I have decided which will be my first Rolex:
A Two Tone Datejust II with the gray dial and black Romans outlined w green.

It is such a distinct combo and I feel could be dressed up or down.
Any comments and/or pics appreciated.

My AD can get me a 20% off retail discount. Is this good?
The problem is they need to find out how quickly they can get it.

Hopefully I'll join the club soon and share some pics.

Roger

Congrats on coming to a decision, that's the first step!

I hope you don't have to wait too long for it.

That's the one I was going to buy too - until I fell hard for my Turn-O-Graph. I look forward to pix of your DJ II.

I thought an AD was not allowed to deviate but a few points of MSRP?

I like the DJ II a lot, but my favourite is the TT with the ivory/baton dial.

I saw the same watch at our AD, and it looks quite stunning in the metal. The deal sounds good too, so go for it! Make sure to post some pictures once you get it.
