My new Rolex DJ. I went to try in the two tone RG/SS in the second picture. Since this will be my last watch purchase for a while I wasn’t sure I would like the dial long term. My AD could tell I was on the fence and I had sent her some options previously. She goes in the back and brings out the YG/SS with the dial colors I wanted for me to “try on” for comparison. I fell in love. She then tells me I can get that one if I want hehe. This is my second purchase from her over the years. I’m so happy.
It also proves that they do have inventory in the stores that they show selectively. I’ve seen others have the same experience.

My first Rolex…28mm LDJ Oyster TT YG with domed bezel, silver dial & star diamonds! (hope I listed the specs correctly!)
I’m a minimalist when it comes to jewelry & I’ve never been interested in luxury watches. My hubby is the Rolex collector & has tried to convince me into getting a 31mm LDJ jubilee fluted with MOP. While I agree it’s a beautiful watch…I’m not the type to follow the crowd & I wanted something more unique yet understated.
Fast forward to our recent trip to Korea & I tagged along with my hubby to the Rolex store. As soon as I saw this beauty on display, I knew it was the one! While I was trying it on, hubby kept reminding me that the jubilee & fluted style was THE classic…but I honestly didn’t care! I loved the casual yet modest bling this one had & felt it was the perfect first lux watch to fit my style!
Now everytime I wear my watch, my hubby says I should get a 31mm next time. But I disagree…what do you think?
Here she is paired with my evil eye bracelet to ward off evil “onlookers”!

We like what we like! If you liked a 31mm with a fluted bezel, I wouldn’t consider it “following the crowd”.
The wonderful thing is there’s so many combinations, there’s something for everyone. If you don’t love what he loves, don’t get one.

That’s beautiful. I am also a fan of the oyster bracelet because it’s a little more understated especially in a two tone. The 28mm seems to fit your wrist perfectly. I say, always go with the watch that makes your heart sing, notwithstanding popular opinion, because in my experience if you feel lukewarm about it you won’t really enjoy wearing it.
That is stunning! You're right, I think the oyster bracelet is perfect for that watch. And I love the smooth bezel as well. The whole thing is just perfect.
Gorgeous, and looks great with your other jewelry. I have two of the fluted bezels with jubilee bracelets in different sizes, but now I “need” a domed bezel and oyster bracelet to round it out. That’s the problem with Rollies
you can’t have too many IMO. Your post is veerry enabling.
