So much so I own two of them and have considered adding a 3rd. I was wearing my Breitling today when it occured to me that the big bulky Breitling was acutally annoying my wrist. The 36mm DJ is so nice because I really don't even notice it on my wrist at times.

Attached is a photo of one of mine.

Anyone else prefer the "right" size of the 36 mm Rolex Oyster?

joe100 · 22 December 2011, 12:29 PM

I have a Tudor Oysterdate from the early 1990s and it's far and away more comfortable than my Sub. The only other watch I think that is more comfortable is my Glashutte. That thing never makes a fuss.

Annan · 22 December 2011, 12:30 PM

Absolutely!!

77T · 22 December 2011, 12:34 PM

I like my DD in the same form factor

kcmo · 22 December 2011, 12:35 PM

Love the comfort of my DJ!

blama215 · 22 December 2011, 12:41 PM

Love my Datejust too. I also have the tapestry dial . I am also thinking of getting a second dj white dial, roman, jubilee.

bobg · 22 December 2011, 12:48 PM

By far the most comfortable watch for my wrist.

Chipmunk · 22 December 2011, 12:53 PM

I like 36mm for a DJ.

Yep, I like my Datejust!

I like the 36mm also.

Ebruner · 22 December 2011, 02:50 PM

The DJ does not get the respect it deserves on TRF. We get a bit obsessed with Sport Models sometimes. Nice Watch!!

superdelsol · 22 December 2011, 02:58 PM

Love my latest arrival and I find it very comfortable. I hardly notice it, but seems like everyone else does. The Datejust is the Icon in the Rolex line.

36mm DJs are the cat's pajamas.

Kevin.S · 22 December 2011, 03:19 PM

comfy:)

Colnago · 22 December 2011, 05:17 PM

Been to hell and back on my wrist, never let me down a single time.....absolutely love it to bits......36mm is the perfect size......dinner plate non-professional watches look cartoonish to me.....tried very hard to like them and just cannot...

G.J · 22 December 2011, 05:31 PM

I love mine as well..!!!

Like you said, very very comfortable..

Engi · 22 December 2011, 06:42 PM

Nice! I have the same watch.

travisb · 22 December 2011, 07:25 PM

Very light and comfortable but I personally can't get used to the smaller size. For me anything under 40mm doesn't seem to work although I have tried a few times. Great watch for sure! Enjoy em.

Oyster1982 · 22 December 2011, 11:28 PM

Love my DJ, just changed to a creme jubilee dial with Arabic numerals from a champagne dial with Arabic numerals.

Kayaker52 · 22 December 2011, 11:51 PM

Ah, the well respected Datejust,I wear my 6305 S/S red/black date everyday,it`s 56 years old and looks wonderful!

Except mine are a 50's TOG and 60's DJ in 14k.

NTMG · 23 December 2011, 01:04 PM

How can you tell the mfg. Date of a watch? I am new to the forum. I have a DJ from I think mid 1980's. It has the number 455 on the back were the band meets the case.
