Yeah! I love all the history and stories behind the watches!

Wow! Waiting to see some pics!

If you have pics of your Datejust, please share!

Which DD you had? Do you have a picture of DJ41 (if you have one now)?

Both are not inexpensive watches and I get a lot more comments on my DJ II with the Rhodium Diamond dial than my DD II but it may just be the diamonds. Unless money is not an object then I would be hard pressed to tie up the funds in a DD when the DJ does it. That from someone who has 14 watches and a lot of duplication in their collection. Find the two models and dial combinations you want and try them on together. You will know.

I agree. I have a DD36 and I never wear it. I own the same DJII. Wear it all the time. I get the most complements on it. The easy-link makes all the difference. I live in the south and if you don’t have a say to adjust your bracelet you have to take off your watch and put it in your pocket or wear it lose as I prefer a tighter fit.

My DJII rhodium diamond. Daily wearer. My 2 tone DJ41 diamond dial. Safe queen and vacation watch. And last my old DJ41 fluted black jubilee I traded towards my DJII rhodium.

When I bought my first Rolex (late 80's), I had very much wanted a yellow gold DD but just couldn't afford it compared to the TT DJ. Over time, I actually came to prefer the looks of the DJ. The Jubilee bracelet in TT just sparkles and the silver and gold play off each other well.

I'd still like a DD but won't spend the money for one even though I now can finally afford one. If I was looking at new versions of these watches, I'd still be hard pressed to pick the DD over a TT DJ.

The Day Date is and defines Rolex at their best. I do have a soft spot though for vintage Datejusts on certain dials since it's more unique.

Day Date. The reason: it’s the pinnacle.
That being said, I love the Date Just and would probably purchase one in the future. I just received this watch below. The problem is I don’t think I can wear it. Too damn conspicuous.

I’m not a datejust guy, but I’d buy one before I bought another dd40. I’ve become too spoiled by easy links and glidelocks.

My dd40

A grail watch of mine is the RG DD40 w/ Olive dial... ahem, a DJ would not suffice.

If you can, do.

I have owned multiple of both of these. I currently wear a day date. I feel what you’re saying: these watches are very similar in appearance. Both have amazing provenance and the DD was the last watch designed by Hans Wilsdorf himself.

I wouldn’t worry about the heritage. Both have great ones. I wouldn’t worry about the prestige. To the average person on the street they are both Rolexes. I wouldn’t worry about the durability. Despite supposedly being dress watches they are actually quite sporty and durable. I wouldn’t worry about flashiness. They are both flashy.

So what’s the difference besides the day of the week on the dial? Precious metal. My choice is either white gold or platinum. A little less flashy.
