My most humble watch is my favorite...

I admit it, I'm a die-heart 36mm DJ fan. I fish and hunt regularly as well as live a pretty active outdoor life, I own a Sea-Dweller, a Sub, an Explorer, two Daytona, Turn-O-Graph, GMT, other Rolex, Patek, Omega, JlC, etc., etc., but no doubt my favorite watch by far is my humble all steel DJ. The perfect watch.

Yup, that's usually the case. Same for me with my 36mm Explorer.

That's such a nice watch. I wish they would still make it just like it.

Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes more is just more. I tend to wear my B&R carbon military as my every day watch and its a sub $3k watch.

The 36 mm DJ is such a great watch; timeless, comfortable......it's on my wirst 75% of the time.

Mine as well. I own a SMPc and a few other inexpensive pieces but day in and out the simplicity of my datejust really gets me excited.

Love the classic Datejust!

Eagerly waiting to see what BaselWorld brings for the SS DJ 41. Interested to see what dials they will offer.

+1. I have two nice PPs, an FPJ, Zenith El Primero, two vintage subs including a Red. But then this came along and I just can't take it off!
