Idk why ppl keep dissing the datejust... I think its genuinely one of the most beautiful watches ever made.

Watch Rob · 15 April 2021, 12:11 AM

Love it!

kieselguhr · 15 April 2021, 12:14 AM

Back in the day when Sports models were abundant. The Datejust was barely a topic of discussion. It’s a lot more prominent nowadays

Oxfordian · 15 April 2021, 12:19 AM

You won’t get any argument from me, nothing wrong with a DJ, still be popular long after this ‘sport’ model nonsense has moved on.

I think that the DJ is awesome, a classic for today and tomorrow, this and the next generation.

OP your DJ looks great, congratulations.

Friend, I agree with you. Some of these things look like a guy walking around with a "Tonka Truck" on his wrist!!

-- there are so many threads here with folks praising the DJ and sharing their DJ incomings. Blue dial/fluted/jubilee and Wimbledon dial get a lot of love, not to mention the new motif dials.

The only time I hear people mention DJs and disappointment is when they are seeking other models (Rolex sports) at the AD and all that are there are DJ configurations that they are not interested in. Although these forum members lament the fact that there are no SS sport models available (and only less popularly configured DJs), I don't think they are knocking DJs in general.

MannySDG · 15 April 2021, 12:47 AM

I agree, I have the same exact one. It's very dressy in that configuration, but can be sporty with smooth bezel and oyster bracelet.

Brich436 · 15 April 2021, 01:30 AM

The 36mm is just such a classic move. I still love mine after owning it for 18 years. Something about that white gold bezel and jubilee bracelet it’s just awesome.

I agree, the Datejust is a classic beauty. I don't recall anyone dissing them.

watchyoutalkingbout · 15 April 2021, 01:36 AM

Lovely watch. I concur.

M.a.x. · 15 April 2021, 01:41 AM

Love mine. Smooth bezel and oyster. Goes with everything. Wear it everywhere.

DuckaDiesel · 15 April 2021, 01:43 AM

I love mine and I still think its a sports watch, at least my version.
I wear it with everything.

Jackie Daytona · 15 April 2021, 02:21 AM

Great watches. I love mine. I’ve always been a professional/sports model guy but since acquiring my Datejust I’ve been reevaluating my watches a bit. The simplicity and classiness of it is perfect.

Jster · 15 April 2021, 02:28 AM

Dissing the DJ? I don’t know about that. I see a lot of love for it on the forum.
Example, I love my DJ41.

IamJacky · 15 April 2021, 02:38 AM

wait what? who's dissing the Datejust? I mean... how? It's just such a classic, timeless design.

dazzle66 · 15 April 2021, 02:47 AM

It’s a strange game buying Rolex , OP s going for more money on the grey market than datejust 41 s direct from a AD and pretty much no wait depending on config..surely the DJ a better buy ...I never paid them too much interest until tried one in a AD was most impressed everything felt right pick my config waited a few months and couldn’t be happier ...

Crazy Lugs · 15 April 2021, 03:01 AM

My best friend's father has worn his DJ36 every day since 1984- it stuck in my mind from a young age as went on all kinds of adventures together. The DJ36 handled it all, from mountain biking to surfing to skiing. The patina it wears today is truly impressive.

There are more than a few stories like this- sometimes I feel like older owners of DJ's are the only ones who truly wear these watches to the full extent of their capabilities. They have no need or interest for a collection- they simply let the DJ handle everything that comes it's way.

Rolextellstime · 15 April 2021, 03:16 AM

I have had about 4 different datejusts over the last decade and this is my favourite. Datejust 41 anthricite dial on oyster bracelet, casual and sporty, fits with everything, and do it all one watch. Name: 20210414_131239.jpg

I wear my TT fluted bezel jubilee DJ with polo shirts, denim shirts, t-shirts and it doesn’t look out of place, the fluted bezel versions are more versatile than you may think

mk2jag · 15 April 2021, 03:41 AM

I owned the DJ 2 years ago and had to sell it because it was just too big looking on my wrist. the DJ 41 is a better fit and I have secured a beautiful tt with smooth bezel and oyster bracelet.....Im waiting till my bday to pick it up at my AD's.......not too long to wait luckily!

Alcibiades · 15 April 2021, 04:21 AM

For some reason, a significant amount of current Rolex buyers only want “sport” or “sporty” models and then dismiss the Datejust in terms their own taste. And the fact that they are more readily available and don’t sell for 75% more than MSRP make them less interesting to some collectors. But from a technical standpoint (modern movement, great power reserve), looks standpoint and Rolex history standpoint, the Datejust is iconic and is recognized as so by most.
