Datejust daily wearer or only for dress up?

I personaly love the classic look of the DJ and would wear it with nearley anything just seeing how everyone else feels about it.

And i understand that some will not wear it strictly because of size but if it where bigger what would you think?

When I get mine off the winder, I'm more than happy to wear it all day, every day, at home, at work, in fact everywhere

Been wearing a DJ for the past two days, I really like it. It's much more subtle than any of the sport models....It's also very comfy.

The best thing about the DateJust, or any Rolex for that matter, is they can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. Daily wearer? Yes!

I am looking forward to getting one someday. I think for me it would be more of a dress up. - I would get it with the Jubiliee. I think it is a truly great looking watch.

I agree the DJ can be a daily wearer. I only wear mine as a dress watch, however.

I only wear it once in a while, so I chose the dress up only option... although I sometimes wear it casually as well.

When you say dress up, I think President/Day-Date. I wouldn't consider a Datejust a dress up watch unless it is the special edition. (Look on Rolex.com you'll see what I mean.)

I wear my TT DJ every day except if I am working on my car. To messy to clean and to much risk of serious damage.
