My Favorite Novelty from Watches & Wonders 2022

 

My Favorite Novelty

from Watches & Wonders 2022

DATEJUST 41

Oyster Bracelet, Oystersteel and White Gold

I can't stop thinking about a super cool Rolex model launched at Watches & Wonders 2022. This beauty came and went without major fanfare and its the 41MM Datejust with a Bright Blue Fluted Motif dial, with a fluted white gold bezel


The second Rolex I ever owned, when I was 18 was a stainless steel Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet with a blue dial with baton markers and a fluted white gold bezel. I updated it to a white porcelain dial with white gold san serif markers, which you can see in the photo below that was taken 39 years ago!?!! My point is I have never been into the Datejust since then, but I have to admit I LOVE this new 41MM with the crazy-beautiful blue dial!!!! What a Magnificent design Rolex! Man it kind of freaks me out when I look at this photo of myself from close to 40 years ago wearing my second Rolex I ever owned and wore. Talk about a Rolex Time Machine!?!!
