It's the perfect size for long sleeves, especially French cuffs.

Nice DJ, Bubba!

As far as I recall, you bought this DJ from Tom "Kansaivet" about 8 months ago, right?

I've owned a couple of DJ's before (16220 + 16234 models) and am looking forward to getting the 116234 with a silver dial, SL stick, as soon as I have the funds.

Bo, it seems a lot longer that eight months, but you are correct. Funny thing about that DJ is that you don't notice the diamond markers because of the reflections from the white gold bezel.

HAHAHA!! I own both and the DJ is the farthest thing from what I consider "sport". The DJ is far to refined and dare I say un-masculine to be called "sport".

The Datejust [non bling] exudes confidence in ones sexuality...........
At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I absolutely love the DJ. I can't post in the FS/WTB section just yet but I'm hoping I might be able to find a nice used one.

Just bought a 116200 and it feels more comfortable (especially in this warm weather) than a full size 'Professional Series' watch.

So who thinks the DJ will receive the modernization treatment, with larger case etc. that the DD has undergone? If so, when?

I plan to purchase a TT DJ as my next watch to compliment my collection. I've been owning watches from the professional series my whole life, its about time to change things up a little.
