I had a major emergency operation, survived and doing great. So to commemorate that I bought my first Rolex. I went to a few AD and this Datejust was calling my name, I can’t explain it but it was just talking to me.

But really I wanted the fluted bezel, I just had to get this watch thinking I would add the bezel later and for a year looking and finding one and not pulling the trigger.

Now I am digging this bezel, I feel I can wear shorts (and have with a tank top) and also dressed up, of course. I know the fluted bezel adds value and great looks but the non is awesome too. I am going nuts over this, maybe I need mental help.

Congrats and glad you are doing well health wise too! That watch will always have a story

Beautiful if you ask me!

This watch game is making me crazy

Jerrocop · 26 February 2019, 02:38 PM

I like the color. Looks great!

42itus · 26 February 2019, 02:40 PM

Glad to hear the surgery went well and you made a great choice. Bezel and Oyster go well together and that dial!

Djii azzurro is a great piece , fluted or smooth !

polaris72 · 26 February 2019, 02:58 PM

Good to hear you are doing well, the watch looks awesome. You can add another piece later on.

Burlington · 26 February 2019, 03:00 PM

Great looking piece ! I prefer the smooth bezel DJ visually

jeffnnj · 26 February 2019, 03:00 PM

Always prefered smooth. Wish I could get one for my DD.

Lump · 26 February 2019, 03:03 PM

I prefer the smooth bezel too. Who cares what we think though, if you love it, it’s right.

Jerry98vert · 26 February 2019, 03:07 PM

Thanks everyone for your kind words btw.

PatronMTL · 26 February 2019, 03:44 PM

Looks awesome! Wear it in good health!

ntoryes · 26 February 2019, 03:57 PM

Beautiful watch. I have the same. The azzurro dial is unmatched. Was this brand new or pre-owned? My brother loves mine and is looking for a new one.

I will have to admit it was pre-owned, still had some clear stickers on it. Really used or new it didn't matter, all I wanted was the blue dial and SS. Nobody had what I was looking for at the time and this AD kept lowering the price cause they knew I was a buyer (I guess). Also this one was calling my name. This is a DJII 41mm.

Brew · 26 February 2019, 07:20 PM

Glad you're on the mend, enjoying your new watch!

Gaijin · 26 February 2019, 08:21 PM

Smooth bezel for me. That blue color shade is stunning.

I just got out of the hospital too and to celebrate I bought a blue OP.

Best.

KeithP · 26 February 2019, 08:24 PM

Love that piece so much and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Molnboman · 26 February 2019, 09:13 PM

A great way to celebrate you are alive and kicking! If you like it, keep it and treasure it and remember why you bought it in the first place. You may lose that vibe if you sell or swap it.

Thanks for sharing your post.

Congratulations, I’m happy to hear you’re doing well.

That exact combo was my first ever DJ too

1William · 26 February 2019, 09:35 PM

Congratulations. I like the smooth bezel.

samson66 · 26 February 2019, 10:13 PM

I think the Romans dress it up, while the smooth bezel dresses it down - works out about perfectly. Congrats

DoctorA · 26 February 2019, 10:26 PM

I personally prefer smooth bezels. Might be in the minority but certainly not alone!
Beautiful watch!!

juktagt · 26 February 2019, 10:34 PM

Plain bezel is lovely. Great piece! Hope you are doing well.

SkyJuice · 26 February 2019, 10:40 PM

Congrats and wear it in good health!

hbombkid · 26 February 2019, 11:50 PM

Congrats

I also like the smooth better. I actually thought I loved the fluted had a DJ II for 7 months and sold it. If I would buy a DJ again it would definitely be the smooth bezel.

Joearch · 26 February 2019, 11:52 PM

Smooth looks great. Enjoy

RaceDoc11 · 27 February 2019, 12:28 AM

Congrats! It looks great enjoy it in a good health.

mjclark32 · 27 February 2019, 12:30 AM

Congrats!

scarlet knight · 27 February 2019, 12:37 AM

That model is a classic. Is that a DJ2 or DJ41? Do they make that model as a DJ41?
My DJ2 has a fluted bezel, but the smooth bezel gives it a less formal, sportier look.
Congrats on your medical success! Enjoy life and let it rip!

JohnFair · 27 February 2019, 01:02 AM

Congratulations. I also like the classic smooth bazel.
