INCOMING!! You’re my boy blue!!
So I wasn’t on “the list” for this but I’ve been lusting after it for years. My wonderful AD texted me saying she has a JC with my name on it but to come get it quickly. I was in the middle of a conference call but popped in my earbuds and raced out the door!

What can I say - it’s just a stunning watch. A beast, but a stunning beast!! I can definitely feel it on my wrist but I find it to be pretty comfortable overall. Before today, I had never held one or tried it on and have only seen 2 in the wild since its release.

Some will say it’s too big for me - I have small but flat wrists but I’m also a pretty tall guy so I think it works. I am incredibly happy with my choice and don’t have any buyer’s remorse. Let’s see how I feel after a few days of wrist time.

Any-who, pics are below! Take care everybody and have a safe weekend!

Thanks for sharing! Definitely a beautiful watch. Looks fine on your wrist so should be okay on mine. My wrist is flat and a tick over 7 in.

Thanks! I’ve had it on for a couple of hours now and I can definitely tell it’s there. My wrist doesn’t hurt yet though. The true test will be wearing it all day tomorrow out and about town. I’ll report back after a weekend of wear.

In my opinion the D-Blue is the coolest watch Rolex makes. It’s one of the best looking and definitely anything they can go to 12,000 feet is super bad ass. I wish I could pull it off on my 6 1/2 inch wrist. I just can’t. I tried. It’s definitely meant for a big guy. Congrats!!!
