I want a TT/DJ stick dial 36mm

too....but I want a classic car even more.
I have to many addictions in my old age.....cars,watches,motorcycles,guns.
they all cost major bucks....I need something cheap like collecting match books or something thats free at most places.
Dont tell me you are going to flip the YM?

IMHO, the classic 36mm DJ or DD is the gentleman's watch.

The 36mm DJ has to be Rolex's best seller. I guess they seen sales drop, otherwise why bring out a 42mm.

Must say, I have to take back all that I've said about the 36 mm size - I think it's just about perfect for a dress watch.

Did you have it weighed by your butcher?

I've always felt any Rolex watch(not including Cellini) wears bigger than its specs.

This was few months back. I doubt JJ is still looking at DJ especially since his recent buy...double Subs.

JJ I took your advice and got my first sports model (116710) which I can't seem to take off now but here is one pic for you. I love my 116231, however my 116234 will always have a special place in my Rolex rotation!

Ah JJ, always a provocative - in a great way - post. I think you know where I stand on the Super-Jubilee.....

I challenge Rolex to design the "Ultra-Super-Jubilee"....it comes replete with a hologram of JJ on the inside blade. It's composition would consist of Platinum, Gold, SS, Rhodium...and, Paladium.

Am I sillly or what?
Mark

How does the SJ bracelet fit on your wrist(s).?
My wrist is only ...like, 7 1/4 " - yet the SJ clasp seems almost as wide, if not more, than that.!
Im wondering if a SJ would fit my wrist - or would it be too wide to sit comfortably.. ? - Like the linkage would be as wide as my wrist is, hense the band wouldnt sit comfortably.?
Anyone else in the same boat?
