This is a classic, a perfect watch. Complications such as GMT, chrono, etc., are, of course, extremely useful at times, but as a watch, a simple watch to keep time and remind you of the day of the month, the Datejust is as good as it gets.

If you have a small wrist!

Meme-Dweller · 25 November 2016, 01:42 AM

One would argue a $50 Casio or Swatch can do the same thing

FremStar · 25 November 2016, 01:43 AM

Classic, beautiful and genuinely iconic!

Goin2drt · 25 November 2016, 01:43 AM

My wife agrees and wears hers all the time.

Watchgeek5000 · 25 November 2016, 01:48 AM

This is slightly more perfect.....IMO

Funny thing is now even my wife wants a sub and says the DJ is too small!

GerardoG · 25 November 2016, 01:52 AM

A classic!

One Ping Only · 25 November 2016, 01:53 AM

Need, want, whichever

I need more meat on my watch.

As opposed to most, I agree; after getting my datejust I now feel like my 214270 is way too big.
It's a shame they dropped the 36 mm Explorer.

The only Rolex I ever sold, my Explorer 36mm, I miss it sorely. And I had recently bought it new before selling it.

DKS2375 · 25 November 2016, 03:37 AM

I have to agree.

andrewd · 25 November 2016, 08:10 AM

It doesn't get any classier than the DJ. THE iconic Rolex IMO.

Goin2drt · 25 November 2016, 08:26 AM

When you use ICONIC that for me is the sub date hands down. That would be a fun poll.

douglasf13 · 25 November 2016, 08:36 AM

The DJ has been the biggest selling Rolex for a long time, and it really is good for everything. I'm a very casual guy, so I wear an Explorer II, but I loved my DJ.

Absolutely agree with the above statement!
Wouldn't be a fare comparison considering the big price difference between the submariner and an older style DJ. Absolutely the DJ has been a staple for Rolex and it is a classic, that doesn't mean GMT's and Daytona's are only good if you have a reason to use the features. Budget and taste has a lot to do with it.

Hollister · 25 November 2016, 08:48 AM

I'll take a DJ over that green thing, and I have three Subs.

Absolutely, it's a no brainier. No one here would take Submariner 116610lv over a DJ 16200. What was I thinking? Again, it's a matter of tast and budget. No need to refer to the LV as the green thing because you prefer a DJ

I tend to agree that hours, minutes, seconds and a date is very satisfying and useful.
Those who have a Day-Date may say that the day is also a useful function.

However, the presentation of the watch is something that can be subject to infinite variations. The DateJust is just one such variation, which I like, but I like a lot more variations too.

I do like a submariner and a GMT although that has an extra hand, which is really very useful too.

Nice bike, but you do need disc brakes
