I actually really like the fluted bezel on your DJ2

There are about five things I don't like on that watch. The cyclops is not on my list. I believe all proper Rolex with a date should have one. Most Rolex are well executed, just not this one.
Cheers,

Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!

Thanks Geoff! The DJ2 is the watch that really opened my eyes and actually appreciate many of the Rolex design elements. People may complain of individual features, but I firmly believe there is a reason that Rolex sticks to their designs for so long. They quickly found what worked and there is little reason to change a thing.

Nope. It is so much more/less than just a Datejust with an additional ring. It is a Datejust with 20 extra roman characters, 13 extra holes in the dial, 12 extra dots, a silly rotating red rectangle and that dreadful red and white triangle. Oh, and a few extra letters, when almost every Rolex already has too much type on the dial.
In total there are well over 200 individual letters, numbers, holes and marks on one small dial surrounded by a fluted bezel.
