I remember I read Patrick saying something like:   "for a normal person, a steel datejust is all the watch one would need".

I don't consider myself a normal person smile, however I always listen to smart men ...


Never thought a recent DJ would attract my interest, never even tried one or had a desire to try one (maybe because all the market in recent years that made this watch a flippers delight)... . Anyway, wife was busy, so I went there for an innocent friendly general chat prior to the coming weekend, not even thinking of anything new, I have enough. Even left wallet at home!

After a coffee, soda and 30 min chat about life, he went to the back, reached for the safe and came back with this one, "would you like to try it?" he said,

I did....

This 41mm mint looks sweet...
The photo and 2 links shorter, tells the rest of the story..

Splendid dial color. I agree, a normal person needs 1 top quality watch. Anything beyond that and we are abnormal...there are worse ways to be abnormal 🤣
