Looks great, and congrats on your first Rolex!!
The concentric dial is always a winner IMO..

Buy it from Gemoro in West Ed?

I bought it from Swedish Jewelers as they are closing since their building is being torn down and rebuilt in January. 15% off all Rolexes and I got them to throw in the GST also so I got a sweet deal!

Not too many left. For the DJ I had a choice between TT yellow gold with a white dial and the one I chose. At first I was not sure because of the rose gold, I am very happy with my choice. I have not seen any DJ TT with rose gold before. They do have quite a few used Rolexes still up for sale. I may have to go back next week for my second rolex but a used one.

The rose gold is an acquired taste, but I personally love the look of the darker redish gold more than the yellow look....
A great watch indeed, enjoy!

Rob,

I love those concentric arabic dials. I believe it gives it a bit more of an edge, dont you think?
