Great! Do you have any more photos to share of it? How do you find the size compared to your larger watches?

Great photo; love my DJ as well although we've not been together near as long.

One day while driving it really struck me how beautiful the watch is. Something about the gold and stainless is just gorgeous.

That shot leaves me speechless.

Gerardo, you're known for your quality posts sharing your exquisite tastes with the rest of the watch world, but I think that that image speaks more about you and your zest for life than all the others combined.

Excellent!

Beautiful shot. Took me back to the black tapestry two-tone that I had in the 90's. God I loved that watch.

I have many. The original DJ (5 digit) is indeed lighter and smaller; yet, it is so comfortable. Sometimes I forget I am wearing it as it nicely hugs my wrist. To me, an epic watch, and probably one of the most 'copied' watches.

I agree. Just a beautiful, classic, timeless design. Perfect for jeans or suit

Wow! I am humbled! Somehow, I have to admit, it does. Probably one of the best pictures I have taken. Thank you for your nice words!
