Happy Monday!

As mentioned before (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=277079), I went up to Orlando this weekend and picked up a little modest something from DavidSW and then went on to Universal Studios.

Had a great time at Universal!

I saw this great picture posted by Dino (aka Dingoo93) of a Datejust II Blue Roman Dial Fluted Bezel last week.... "that gorgeous rich blue that glimmers in the light.... and that sparkling bezel... hmmm" I said to myself…

...and once I went to see it in person, I could not resist... so now exactly 7 days after Dino's picture was posted on TRF I have my own! (this forum is daaaangerous!)

This is my first datejust and I think it will compliment my "sporting" line-up well. The blue dial gives it a more "modern look" but at the same time the roman markers keep it classic and beautiful. This new acquisition should give my current collection some diversity.

On my way to work this morning...

Thanks Dino (for making me focus on this one

) and David (for sourcing and the great service as usual

)! Looking forward to posting more picturs of it on TRF in the future!

Have a great week TRF!

The DJII wasn't my thing at first. It also grew on me over time and the bezel is just magnificent.

As requested, a little "gift" from Universal. She's no Ariel, but will have to do.

T.J!!!..

I've just seen your inbox message

I'm really really glad I was of assistance..

(I did nothing honestly guys..

)

This is most certainly a dangerous place for your wallet

I'm glad you have taken to the DJII, and I'm glad it shines for you ;) That WG bezel certainly does!!!

HUGE congrats pal!!
