Picked up the new DJ !!!

Picked it up this past weekend from an AD in Dallas. I got a small discount 5% and an extra box, salesman said it was for a presidential. I love it and catch myself staring at it on my wrist. My buddy said the staring thing will pass with time, we will see. My photo skills leave something to be desired but tell me what yall think.

Congrats and welcome to the DJ club.
Enjoy your new watch.

Did you had a hard time debating between the jubilee or oyster bracelet?

absolutely stunning mate. I love the concentric circle dial. It kind of hypnotises me everytime i stare at it. The best thing is that it looks awesome on your wrist., as the watch modls well to your wrist size.

Nah, its been like 3 years over and i still stare at my rolex.

All the best.

Great watch!! Chances are I have been in that AD, since I made weekly visits to most of them, what can I say, I have a sickness.

Congrats and wear it well!

Congratulations JPTX that is a really cool looking DJ. Very clear arabic dial and the fluted bezel look great. Also with the slightly wider minute and hour hands it is easier to read quickly (to me anyway).

That's exactly what I felt when I saw this same dial at my AD last week. The dial readability will be a bugger in poor or bright light.

My wife and I ordered a ladies DJ with the black concentric dial and arabic numbers. It is also the oyster bracelet. It came in Monday, but we haven't had the chance to go pick it up yet. Is something wrong with us?! Haha!

Thanks for all the feedback, I am enjoying it more everyday. I think it is low key enough but has just enough bling when the sun hits the 18K bezel.

I looked at the sunburst style dial in silver and couldn't see the hands at all! They disappeared into the radial lines on the face. Of course, I do have to take my 40+ year old eyes into the equation.
