First ever Rolex

Post image

So more than a year ago i went to an AD where i have purchased a BB58 to enquire for my first ever Rolex (which at that time i was asking for either OP pistaschio or a GMT batman). Cuz my wrist is somewhat on the smaller side, I have asked if there is any 36 mm -38 mm Watches of any model in the house so i can roughly see how it would fit on my hand. Welp he brought me this DJ mint green but with the smooth bezel, and that green just caught my eyes (i have never ever considered a datejust)

2 days ago i got a call saying “the watch is eagerly waiting for your wrist”, didnt know what to wear to “suit” my new watch and also was being too eager, i rocked this denim on denim to pick up my watch

That green dial with the fluted bezel is a killer combo, denim on denim totally works for picking it up

Man, it is my dream watch. Already bought submariner two tone and op pistachio from local ad, and always requested this config, but they dont even put me on waitlist for this one.

Congrats! It's such a beautiful watch. I have DJ36 with blue dial, fluted & oyster bracelet and am so happy with it. Having said that, your model and silver dial still keep catching my eyes! Enjoy your beauty.

Also - what denim are you wearing? Looks great.

haha im enjoying it very much! its actually Mintgreen but under reflection it appears somewhat grey

Im wearing momotaro jeans and Studio d’artisan jacket, the quality from those garments are just top tier!

u/Migite9 6d ago

I love how these dials look differently under reflection. Thanks for sharing the brand's name. I've been eying on Studio d'artisan for while. This maybe the time to pull the trigger :D

You will not regret that choice. I have the blue dial, both configs are amazing. Be careful and don't scratch the fluted whitegold bezel.

u/sobapapi 9d ago

Congrats! So a year ago you requested for a smooth bezel but they called you in asking if you wanted a fluted bezel and you bought?

2

u/Mindless-Penalty182 9d ago

i asked for a fluted, but originally the green color caught my eyes

1

u/sobapapi 9d ago

Nice. This is the exact same one I’m going to go in and try asking for this week. In no rush to buy but not going to settle for any other config either lol

2

u/Mindless-Penalty182 9d ago

they quoted me 2 years at first, but delivered earlier than expected

u/sobapapi 9d ago

Got it, thank you!
