    Guys, I managed to start 2020 the right way! I just realized a dream of mine to purchase a Rolex Datejust 126334 with a blue dial and a jubilee bracelet.
    I contacted the owner of an AD and managed to buy one brand new without a waiting list and at 10k usd! Even after the price increase I managed to haggle a little bit and got to pay 10k USD for this beauty, here are some pictures, sorry for the picture in the bathroom since it's got the brightest light to show how handsome this bad boy is.
    The pictures don't do this watch justice, it's just gorgeous.

    I’m slightly shocked that a DJ retails for $19k. Just shows that I’m out of the loop with new prices.

    edit: sorry about the typo. I meant to write $10k.

    The DJ41 on a jubilee bracelet and a white gold bezel is now retailing at around 12k USD, 11500 to be more exact due to the new rolex price increase.

    EDIT: With taxes.

    $10k for that watch in steel? Not a criticism but that sounds like a lot to me.

    Looks very nice. If that’s what you were desiring good on you. That is a very nice dial pictures don’t do it justice. Good to see toothpaste in the shot as well. Just a reminder to take oral hygiene seriously

    Hahahhaha, thanks and nice one.

    It's in steel and white gold. Unfortunately that's the price for that watch, and I even managed to buy one without the price increase.
    Brand new rolexes have skyrocketed in prices in the last few years.

    That is a beautiful timepiece. I just took off my jubilee today and replaced it with a calfskin. It looks like a completely different watch.

    In Schaumburg (10 min from Chicago).

    Here it is with the jubilee and then the calfskin. I was going to get a blue strap to make the dial pop, but then I realized I would be limiting the use of the timepiece.

    I love the stainless steel bracelet, but you can definitely change it up. The blue dials are extremely classy.

    You did well. :thumbsup:

    Some watches are so versatile that straps bring out a completely different personality. I personally love leather.

    The blue dial is what conquered me. I remember when I first saw this watch with the blue dial and white gold bezel and I thought to myself "I'm going to buy that watch one day"

    For me, it's easily the most beautiful watch I own.
    Recently I bought a Pepsi but the beauty of the DJ is way greater than the Pepsi imo

    Wow, I paid 8800 from Swissluxury for the DJ41 about 2 years ago. Guess I got lucky!
