both beauties in their own way but my personal preference almost always sides with all ss rolex models, and i own a few 2t and all gold... so, ya, i shouldn't even say anything.

congrats.

Wow!
You know how much I LOVE mostly Stainless-Steel Rolexes....
But I have ALWAYS loved the look of a two-tone Date-Just with a Blue-Dial
I also prefer the look of Jubilees on Date-Just's and GMT's....

That is a GORGEOUS watch!
Is it a 41mm DJ-II?
And if so, was the Jubilee standard on it?

Anyway....well done!

It's a 36mm DJ. I just have small wrists. I think the 36mm fits me perfectly. I can't wait to get a 36mm Day Date one day.

Both of your Rolex watches are great, but the TT has more flair.
I have a SS Blue Dial I wear most of the time, but also have a TT with Black Dial I wear when I dress up. I love them both.

I gave up the SS for the TT. I wanted a more dressy DJ for special occasions. It won't be a daily beater. I use a ND Sub and BLNR for that.

Can't argue with either one. Both are beautiful but if you like TT then it's definitely an upgrade and much dressier. Congrats Brett.

The TT is a beauty, but from where you're coming, not what I would consider an upgrade, per se, just different. Still, enjoy it.

Well it cost more and has gold. To me that's an upgrade.

Oh. It looks nicer too. IMHO.

Thats an upgrade. Love it. I love TT, as long as the dial is dark.

I agree. It's funny because I like the SS one with a white or silver dial. I love the blue with the TT.
