Indeed, absolutely outstanding, and a very unique combination

Thanks Oscar!

Mine is a Black dial too.....but it's old.....I still love it though....been with me just over 20 years.....had a new dial and hands a few years ago (cycling accident, nasty story)....I cannot ever sing the praises of the DJ loud enough....really

2th Dr · 4 June 2009, 12:49 PM

Beautiful Bill! I love it! I still think the DJ is THE Rolex icon.

Ok, shoot me now!

Even though I think it looks beautiful and I might just buy one soon, it just doesn't have the magic as the sports watches.

Thanks Mark....it was the second one I bought and probably the one I've worn the most over the years......my eldest son has his claim in for it (and has had for a lot of years)...I let him wear it every once in a while if we are out for dinner or on holiday......it's a amazing to see him looking at it with this stupid big grin on his face....when he eventually gets it (maybe his 21st, he's 17 right now) I know to say 'he will appreciate it' would be an understatement.....that's what it's all about for me....I didn't only buy them for me......I only have custody right now.....

Colnago · 4 June 2009, 03:12 PM

To be honest Allan, I felt the same about the sprts watches as you do about the DJ (maybe DD as well) for years......I thought they were ok, that maybe one day I would get round to buying one......I got my GMT II C around three months ago and wished I had bought a sports model years ago.....what had I been missing all this time....maybe, just maybe.....it'll be the same for you if you pick up a DJ.....they may not have quite the same impact as a sports model, mainly due to size and lack of a contrasting bezel......however they are very reliable, extremely robust and no less an icon in some folk's eyes......I love both of mine passionately....their histories are all with me but they have a lot of it......I wouldn't get rid of them for all the world

We may soon find out. I am trying to decide if I want to buy another Rolex. I may buy one soon and who knows, maybe I will become a convert!!

Colnago · 4 June 2009, 03:30 PM

You may well indeed......even if you don't become a convert maybe you will reach some common ground.....it takes some time to get used to the feel of a different kind of watch.....having said that it only took me around a week to get used to the feel of a sports watch.....I love the feeling.....but when I take it off and slip either a DJ or my old DD on they feel just great as well....like a really comfortable pair of shoes you've had for years....I honestly love both "looks" and "feels" now
