If it is actually wear about 39.5mm ? I still don't understand...

vh2k · 9 March 2022, 05:15 AM

It's just a model name. They can call it Datejust 57 if they want.

Sandpit · 9 March 2022, 05:19 AM

Rolex’s own website says it’s 41mm. I don’t know how they get that measurement though.

Because they lie

Personally though I prefer the 39.5 on my op and dj to a true 41.

mfserge · 9 March 2022, 07:58 AM

Exactly it should be called JustDate41 not DateJust41

thenewrick · 9 March 2022, 07:59 AM

41 sounds like a manly size and it’s a bigger number than 39 and 40(marketing)

Measurement including the crown is 41mm(fine print explanation)

It’s like 0-60 times in cars with some using rollout and some rounding numbers or damaging the car to achieve certain numbers.

Lug to lug and how it appears on your wrist(proportions) are what matter. The model size reference number and even it’s case measurement is still just a guide for you to base a decision. Always wear in person before purchase if possible.

Still seems odd as is the case any larger than the DD40’s?

Well, I think "MANLY" can be a 36 or 34 or whatever he wears...Are most of the Presidents that wore 36 DD's not men?? I thought Ronald Reagan pulled it off quite well.

If that stumps you, just wait until you find out that fluted bezels don’t actually screw down anything.

Why god, why do they do it!?

Old Expat Beast · 9 March 2022, 10:08 AM

Because that's how old you should be before you buy one.

Actually I got mine at just before 40

and like it. It’s a much better watch than op41, no doubt imo if you can stomach a cyclops. New trendy dials would send it nuts on smooth bezel versions.

Too funny

Daveclock · 9 March 2022, 10:19 AM

Because “NOT JUST TIME BUT ALSO HAS DATE!” is too cluttered for the dial?

Maybe mm is millions of minutes, describing your waitlist time??

Jackie Daytona · 9 March 2022, 11:40 AM

They won’t sell it to you unless you are 41 years of the age on the dot… that’s why there are so many threads about long wait lists.

Well I posted a few weeks ago about one in the case locally and was 100 per cent up for sale and when a TRFer called about it they lied and said it was display only. I should have bought it and flipped it and I’ve never done that but when that kind of thing goes on it dies make you think

If it’s any help to you my DJ-II’s 41mm wears bigger than your DJ41.

true story
My DJII is chunky

EEpro · 9 March 2022, 11:53 AM

DJ41 and Daytona case are the most comfortable watches I've ever worn on my 7.25" wrist. Both are svelte and contoured nicer than other flat-edged Rolex sport cases. Being just a hair under 40 mm they are just right for a majority of wearers.

jojosnr · 9 March 2022, 11:53 AM

It was 41 at the factory. Shrunk due to the time needed to get to our hands.

Now this makes sense.

henrylee · 11 March 2022, 06:10 AM

Rolex published it as a 41mm spec. So that’s why it’s a DJ41, even though it’s a 39.5mm. Plus a DJ 39.5 would be weird nickname.

Mwilsey103 · 11 March 2022, 10:55 AM

41 is 1 1/2 better than 39.5. And all my amps go to 11 not just 10. So they must get louder

GBD · 12 March 2022, 09:50 AM

Misrepresenting case dimensions is THE ROLEX WAY.

We do not question THE ROLEX WAY.
