Incoming Datejust 41

Took the plunge on another datejust, but my first datejust 41. Absolutely love the Wimbledon dial on the all steel case. I have the two tone YG and steel Wimbledon datejust 2 as well and this one not only fits better but looks better imho.

And the updated movement is a bonus. I was seriously contemplating it on a jubilee bracelet but at the end of the day I'm a sucker for the masculine feel of the oyster.

Thanks for looking!

OP - you’re a man of excellent taste. Roman numerals are so overlooked on TRF, yet for me they make the perfect datejust. Here’s mine

After a few days on the wrist, I have to say I don't think I'll ever be able to put the datejust 2 on again! The 41 is just so much more tailored and fits my wrist perfectly. Even the case doesn't fall off center onto the wrist bone like the previous iteration does. The differences in the case are subtle but meaningful. Here are some more pics...

Beautiful. I'm most likely to going to pick up this one of the new blue roman 0017 - but no idea when the latter will hit the ADs (or when it will hit the grey market).

Enjoy!!

Thanks! I had no idea more Roman numeral references were coming out this year. I will definitely keep an eye out. Cheers!
