I used to hate DD and DJ...

To the unrefined, perhaps these references seem “old. From a design standpoint, so few products can claim to as long lasting and iconic as Rolex’s DJ and DD lineups. Perhaps, Porsche’s 911 or an Eames chair. The list is short.

I guess I'm getting old. Actually when I was young er my first two Rolex were DJ36, the first was a TT on jubilee, imagine that. I really love my new 41 and am thinking of adding another on a jubilee to mix it up. Azzurro or white, love romans..

Always makes me smile when guys qualify their manhood by wearing a watch that is 4mm larger.

Well that’s your perception on the Dd and DJ but I’m happy for the change of heart

The watch is a success and proven.

In any case. Modern 6 digits look nothing like their 5 digit counterparts. I actually really like the Rolex classic line. No need for a DJ but hope to pick up a DDII some day.

at lease he is not wearing the G-shock...

I am not wrong just being honest ...lol...that's what I was thinking before I got my first rolex 16610

Often times stuff that is thought of as "for old men" is just stuff that has withstood time's test and worked as designed. You know, like old men. Nothing wrong with that, imo.

because before I brought my 16610...I really considered avoid buying Rolex. I wanted to buy IWC P7...and then my friend keep telling me do not buy IWC...

I just ordered a 116234 black stick dial coming soon!

good points, small improvement but not changing is the best

During my starting phase of watch collecting, I used to have the perception of DD & DJ being a model for older folks as well as all TT version. My younger colleagues in 20s had this views too but they hasn't acquire their first luxury piece yet. As I approaching my late 30s, my views changed and see DJ & DD as another interesting model to include in my collection. I have also started to appreciate TT for Sub, gmt and blackbay.

It's an old ladies watch. The day I buy my wife mens-sized DJ or a DD, is the day we officially stop having sex.

I’m not sure I agree with it’s ‘an old ladies watch’. Women of all ages have embraced the bigger, bulkier, men’s sized gold watches, especially the recognized premium brands like Rolex.

Since the 2018 Rolex bring the Jubilee bracelet and combined with the Pepsi GMT...it does catch a lot of attention to those who doesn't like the jubilee before. I think the DD and the older 116334-hidden clasp one are really beautiful bracelet, must cop one of those in the future!

Not many liked the hulk or batman a few years ago either... go figure

C'mon guys.

Everyone ages, everyone grows older.

The mirror will probably cease to be your friend as time goes on, as well.
