My two watches (first attempt at taking watch pics)

I am a rookie, while entry level, both of these are my baby.

I hope it is indeed men size. Can't wait to add a sport model of Rolex. If I deserve it, I will reward myself someday.

Cool watches NSX.
Black dials are my favorite.
You know the fluted bezel on your Date-Just would look great (to me), but it is up to you.
It is a fairly simple and quick (10 minute) task for a good watchmaker to change the bezel.
If you are worried about originality, you could always swap it back as easy as the first time.

Love the DJ.

I've never seen one with the arabics 'upright' like that

The oyster bracelets looks so clean with that, along with the domed bezel

Thanks guys.

I do have another question regarding the Rolex Datejust. I just noticed that the date on my watch change color every other day. Black, red, black, red,....every other day.

Does all Datejust do that or is it just for the ones with Jubilee dial.

That is weird. Maybe this is a special feature for the redesigned 116200?

Black on even # days, and red on odd # days.

That's right - all the new DJs have this red/black date feature - RED on ODD dates and BLACK on EVEN dates.

The new TOG (Turn-O-Graph), however, has all its dates in RED.

I received the factory white gold flute bezel today. It came from other 36mm datejust, will it work? I placed bezel over the domed bezel, seems like it should fit just fine.

I have mixed feelings. I like it. It definitely level up the blingness, the reflection from angles is amazing, but doesn't look as clean/smooth as before.

I then ask G/F for her true honest opinion, she said it looks like old man watch if I put on the flute bezel.

I wish it is a easy DIY, that would make it really easy. I am a bit concerned that it might get scratched if I have it installed by a watch shop.

My humble opinion is that the domed bezel goes well with the Oyster bracelet, and the fluted bezel works well with the Jubilee bracelet. I'd stay with what you already have, it looks great!

Nice pics of two nice watches. The Carrera is one of my favorite watches. If I had a use for a chrono, it would be the way to go for me. The black dial is beautiful, but when I tried the silver one on right after it, she won my heart.

First attempt at taking pic under natural light. NSX is my weekend driver, I drive a convertible as daily driver. With the top down it is perfect for taking pics of watches.

That's a superb picture of a very beautiful looking DJ with that absolutely stunning Jubilee dial.

Al's right....the domed bezel goes much better with the Oyster bracelet....whereas the FLUTED WG bezel goes best with the Jubilee bracelet.

Welcome to the forum....
They are really great photographs you have taken. Outdoor light I find is the best to use for watches, especially if it is overcast.

BTW do you have a name?

Agree. The domed bezel is nice with that.
