How come no love for the Datejust II?

[Chronos]

I've tried a few on but something about the proportions is just "off."

I'm wearing my 36mm Datejust again today. I think the new 40mm Datejust will hit that sweet spot of size vs. proportions.

In my opinion it's horrible and totally disproportionate. It screams of Russia and new money.

Can you explain this please?

I'm not a fan of the cyclops in general; the OP Joe posted is more to my liking.

I really like this model and especially the blue dialed one, although I would prefer it without the cyclops. But even used it ranges between $5000 and $6000 as far as I can see which seems to be quite high for such a simple design and features. It's really a "Rolex lover's watch" or a "Status quo" type watch in my opinion. Can easily get something else along the same lines for a lot less.

I actually love the blue dial with the smooth bezel. Great watch imo and super versatile.

I've been shopping Datejust for a while, torn between vintage and contemporary. The Datejust II is tempting but essence of the Datejust below somehow got lost along the way.

Unfortunately don't have one of these Steve, but do have love for them !

I had the blue dial (for a little while).


Fluted bezel wore pretty cool.
