Same, but the DJ2 would be a smooth bezel.

You have excellent tastes, sir.

I debated between domed and fluted, I just got the watch last week, I ended up with fluted because I wanted the extra dimension to the watch, and the classic Rolex look.

Yup. DRSD is much more, of course. Maybe $10k is more realistic. I passed on a very nice one for $9k last year as I am holding out for a 1977-78 model.

Thoughts on a Tag Aquaracer too?
I had one for years. Bought it used for $500. Fantastic watch.

A G shock mr-g, another great watch.

I find this an interesting thread that really illustrates the diverse tastes of members. Some lists have a couple of watches I like, and then there are others that picked 5 watches that I have zero desire to own.

I would put half into one watch, maybe a gold Daytona on strap, and then an Exp1, Sub, DJ, AK, all preowned, might be over a touch.
