Simple question: is the classic Datejust appropriate for everday wear? I'm thinking two tone in particular?

robie · 24 March 2013, 07:39 PM

Depends on your dress code but usually it is.

The Joker · 24 March 2013, 07:40 PM

yes

MonBK · 24 March 2013, 07:41 PM

Forget dress code, the TT DJ goes with everything.

Absolutely! I personally waste no time worrying whether my watch looks appropriate for the activity, matches my socks, goes with the color of my eyes, will offend anyone's sensibilities, upset my boss, etc.....

Seriously, IMO a TTDJ as a daily wearer is just fine. I'm wearing my latest DJ as I write this. I did it for 24 years but have lately added an EXPII that seems to get more wrist time overall.

This!

Monte Cristo · 24 March 2013, 07:47 PM

Yes it is

Cru Jones · 24 March 2013, 07:54 PM

Any reason why you wouldn't think so?

BigDoug · 24 March 2013, 07:59 PM

It's a dress watch and I dress very casual.

Comes down to personal preference/style. I don't think the DJ is a "dress" watch. More of an all-arounder.

Jdd155 · 24 March 2013, 09:18 PM

Yes, it is a casual watch and can be dress watch as well. Just wear what you like when you like.

nick c · 24 March 2013, 09:22 PM

Why not

impalass · 24 March 2013, 10:18 PM

Yes

travisb · 24 March 2013, 10:21 PM

Definately good for daily.
Just be sure the 36mm is enough size for you.
I love the proportions, but 36mm wears a bit on the small side for me.

I was going to say yes with the same caveat. For some, the 41mm DJ Is the better answer. But in either case, the DJ is an all-uses winner.

At my size, 6'3" and 290lbs, I've seriously considered the DJII. But I really want to stick with a classic for my first new Rolex. The DJII is really going to have to sing to me.

Was also concerned about the dressiness of the
TT DJ esp. living in a town where most-from
the governor("Governor Blue Jeans")down-tend
to dress casually.

That’s one reason why I like the tuxedo dial-although
the word tuxedo suggests ultimate dressiness, IMO it has
the effect of actually toning it down(the dressiness)
and it’s also kind of retro looking-which I like.

Kiddodoc · 24 March 2013, 10:23 PM

No doubt! I think you will find that if it is your only watch, after a while it will be second nature to you to wear it everyday.

VICI · 24 March 2013, 10:27 PM

Sure

gpfps · 24 March 2013, 10:28 PM

Yes for sure !

Oyster1982 · 24 March 2013, 11:13 PM

The DJ is a great watch to wear with jeans and a t shirt. I have the champagne dial which is more formal, however I can still wear it with casual clothing.

Totally appropriate

bscepter · 24 March 2013, 11:26 PM

absolutely. i prefer SS, myself, but the DJ is one of the most iconic watches of all time. it's elegant and sporty. and according to the watch snob*, it's one of only four watches that can do both dress and sport.

*read him at your peril - he's very droll.

Dionissis · 24 March 2013, 11:30 PM

It's one of the most classy watches Rolex ever produced imho...

danh1023 · 24 March 2013, 11:58 PM

I wore my SS 16030 everyday (except when in for service) for 17+ yrs. until I was able to pick up a GMT II and an Explorer II. It works with everything from a tuxedo to shorts and a t-shirt. It is a really versatile piece that goes well with just about everything, although it has been relegated to mostly dress duty now.
As mentioned above, if it is your only watch, it can certainly be employed for every-day use.

HL65 · 24 March 2013, 11:59 PM

Absolutely yes!

nyyankees · 25 March 2013, 12:08 AM

Yes

slcbbrown · 25 March 2013, 12:27 AM

Definitely dressy enough for almost any situation but also a very tough watch that most other dressy watches can't match.

Rags · 25 March 2013, 12:50 AM

Certainly is.
