BTW, "outside the box" may be an understatement


Oh I could be pursauded to part with it!!!!!

Currently it lives where all shadows and skeletons lurk - in a box, inside another box, in a closet, in the dark. But some nights when the moon is full and the air is still, I fear I can hear it - tick, tick, ticking on my closet door. Damnable ticking!

Might be a little bit small since he wants something around 43mm.


The 41m DJ 2 actually wears quite large, just as the Sub c and GMT Master IIc wear a lot larger than 40mm. The Explorer, on the other hand, wears smaller than the actual 40mm size.

But why not just go balls to the walls for the old man - get him a VC Overseas Automatic, yellow gold (since he's into Rolex, I assume he likes yellow gold), white dial, on the alligator strap??? 42mm but wears 43mm.


Ah, I had thought the DJ2 was 42mm. Never tried on a Master Control but I think its quite thin which might make it wear even smaller.

I think TT DJ2 sounds like a good choice though.


The DJ2 is 41mm.
