Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)
Discussion
When I bought my first Rolex in year 2000, I was torn between the Black or Blue dial DJ36mm. Ended up buying the black which was sold on in 2017 as I was finding it too small at 36mm. I hadn't worn it much since getting the ceramic GMT in 2010.
nearly 25years on and a change in taste of wristwatches, I've bought the closest I could to the DJ of year 2000, an OP41. The DJ of today are just too bling and I find the OP range, when you go for a more classic dial colour, fly so under the radar. It's finally great news for end users like me, we can finally buy the watches we want without stupid games or mega wait lists.

How are you finding it so far?
Got this arriving tomorrow. Been wanting to add a Carl. F for a while and managed to snatch this for a great price. Box and papers all still with it.
Looking forward to getting my hands on it. Confident it could be flipped for profit but that’s not my motivation, also think it will be a brand to keep an eye on after being bought by Rolex last year. Should raise the brands awareness hopefully.

Nice - I would like a John Wick-spec Manero, which you've just reminded me to look for!Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Not incoming but as this is a frequently updated thread thought I'd ask if any other PHers are going to the Time and Tide British watchmakers event in November?
I'm attending on the Sunday so if anyone wants to say hi DM me.
Time and Tide is a club in Bloomsbury dedicated to watch enthusiasts so might be of interest here

Just arrived at the boutique, picking it up in January though. Yes I know PM Rolex are cheaper grey but with the tax refund, I'll come out slightly ahead.
I've wanted one of these for the longest time as a daily, I know it will be scratched easily just by looking at it, I also know it's garish and not complimentary to my skin tone.
BUT I really do not care

Bought this for not a lot of money just to wear when in various ports in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Columbia rather than my more expensive watches!
