    Beautiful write-up!
    The date just is a classic, perhaps the most iconic Rolex, and inspired even more than the sub.

    Excellent choice! The Datejust really is a timeless design and the model you selected is superb.

    I agree about the comfort. I actually never thought much about the Datejust until I put it on and was astonished at how comfortable it is. After wearing it I sometimes wonder why I even want to wear anything else.

    Very nice. Looking at the first picture, I thought, "elegant simplicity." Then you used almost the identical expression a paragraph later...

    Excellent Choice! Congratulations on both the watch and the milestone!

    I agree with those who say 60 isn’t old. My Dad was 52 when I was born, so 60 just seems like middle age to my mind.

    Congrats! I have to say I do like the look of the several non-traditional datejust variations such as yours (smooth bezel instead of fluted, oyster bracelet instead of jubilee).

    Unmistakably a datejust but, at least to my eyes, a bit unusual and a modern look.

    Different Rolex next to an Omega...


    I've been looking at some older 36mm watches too and I find myself drawn to the older bezels, rather than the newer pointed/fluted bezels.
    The (white dial) Turn o Graph is tugging at my mind at the moment.

    Awsome review and great photos - thanks! There's a reason it's the best seller and long-time classic. I'm with you in that I prefer the domed bezel and oyster bracelet. Congratulations!
