Stopped by a Rolex AD in Valparaiso Indiana to attempt to compare blue dial datejusts.

(Believe it or not they had TWO just in wrong configurations)

Truth be told the 36mm dj looked and felt ok and is also several dollars cheaper.

Has anyone purchased a 36mm DJ and regretted recently?

Nope. Have a 36mm DJ and a 36mm DD. Perfect size for my 7.25" wrist, and the classic configuration for both models.

Ditto

darthgman · 11 January 2020, 05:47 PM

Not at all. The 36 looks good on your wrist

4vCoupe · 11 January 2020, 06:03 PM

Looks good. That is the exact combination that I would get in a DJ.

Stunning! This one is for the ages.

Gerardus · 11 January 2020, 06:48 PM

Looks good! Nothing wrong with 36MM!

myporsche · 11 January 2020, 10:08 PM

36mm looks better on your wrist than a 40 (which still looks fine), 36 DJ in blue is a great watch.

jltait · 11 January 2020, 10:28 PM

Perfection

dualcarb · 11 January 2020, 10:29 PM

It’s beautiful and the perfect size

joli160 · 11 January 2020, 10:35 PM

Very balanced size

Patton250 · 11 January 2020, 10:36 PM

That watch looks absolutely perfect on you and is a beautiful piece. In my opinion you picked a good one.

JayHantz · 11 January 2020, 11:07 PM

I agree with the fine gentleman above, that DJ looks perfect on your wrist. I am a sucker for the 36mm DJ. It has the perfect look and dimensions of a classic piece.

~JJ · 11 January 2020, 11:09 PM

Gotta say it fits your wrist much better than the sub.

I didn’t want to be that guy too, but it fits way better than that Sub. With your wrist size that DJ 36 is perfect! Love the blue!

36mm looks good on you

TswaneNguni · 11 January 2020, 11:13 PM

Not for me,but looks good on your small wrist .

vesnyder · 11 January 2020, 11:22 PM

I recently got rid of my 36mm DJ and I miss it. The size is perfect and the sub and DJ combo is my grail!

Krash · 11 January 2020, 11:54 PM

Looks great. DJ fits you better. Too bad they don’t have the fluted bezel on the jubilee. That’s the only combination I’d get.

36 looks great on you. I prefer the 36 over the 41 myself. I think this watch looks best in its classic proportions.

J-rob · 12 January 2020, 12:06 AM

Looks perfect on your wrist.

I had a gorgeous DJ36 in rotation with a subC and a couple of others. However I have now downsized to just a DJ41 for everything. For me it works a little better for all around versatility. However I will most certainly own another DJ36 one day. (Probably two tone)

jitdc · 12 January 2020, 12:15 AM

I think the 36DJ looks great on your wrist. Of course there is less wrist presence than the Sub but thats Ok, totally different watches. I think you have a great pair there.

Calatrava r · 12 January 2020, 12:18 AM

The Sub actually looks big on your wrist. The 36mm seems to fit you better. Photography always makes the watches look bigger than they are.

Rolexavidfan · 12 January 2020, 12:18 AM

Beautiful! 36 is probably making a comeback...

In my personal opinion, the two watches (Sub and DJ) are miles apart. The DJ is like a Timex in comparison. Enjoy the Sub. It's a beautiful, iconic watch.

That's very bold, unfair, plus it's not true. The Datejust is the image of Rolex outside the Forums and it's an icon, plus it's the best selling Rolex. Also the Datejust has a more modern movement (3235) than the Submariner.

Ignorance is very daring.

I bet a lot of Porsche owners have made equivalent comments.

But the Porsche 718 doesn't have a better engine than the 911, but the Datejust does have a more modern and better movement than the Submariner.
