Is the dj a poor man's dd?

Q, if one has a dd, would the dj be too similar?

Wcdhtwn · 11 August 2021, 02:44 AM

Rolex isn't a poor man's anything.

Oxfordian · 11 August 2021, 02:48 AM

A current DJ is at best a mix of stainless steel and gold, a DD is pure precious metal, so a big difference in how they wear.

Other than that I cannot comment, I have a DJ and would happily add a DD to the collection but those lottery numbers need to come up first.

DD is a poor’s man Lange.

Benzsiam · 11 August 2021, 02:59 AM

I have both and love both of them, if you plan to have only one, D-D is the one to go for.

A poor mans Day Date?! Considering you have a 1000 posts, this looks like a troll thread.

shirtguy · 11 August 2021, 03:14 AM

I have the dd40
Subc date ss
Daytona c ss

Im.asking if I should get a dj or will it be in someway redundant ?

Francist · 11 August 2021, 03:23 AM

U won’t be wearing much of the dj.
I used to own blue dj41, traded it up since i wasn’t using much of it

i used to think they're too similar but i changed my mind on it. sometimes a day date is too much for the occasion and you just wanna wear something similar but not as out there. i'm currently waiting for a two tone wimbledon for that reason

Lol!

Maybe not the best word to use, but I get what the OP is asking.

I probably wouldn't have my DJ if I had a DD.

It depends how much you care for daily driving a precious metal piece and which configuration DJ you buy. A DateJust smooth oyster is basically a steel sports model and can be treated as such.

This!
A DD plays in a league of its own, a regular DJ might be a little more understated but you can have also blingy DJs, full gold references are 16018, 16238, 116238 and diamond bezeled 116188 YG, 116244 SS in a variety of interesting dials. While I lean more towards the character of a DD personally, I gladly appreciate the classic form and clean dials of a DJ.

shirtguy · 11 August 2021, 04:33 AM

I like a tt dj41 rg with Wimbledon dial, however it's a bit blingy, once I'm wearing bling ican wear the dd

So back to the q, does the dd .fit into q collection that has the dd?

Sport models are different since you can use them for different activities

Brew · 11 August 2021, 05:05 AM

DD and DJ are both sport watches. I currently have a DJ, but need a watch with a day function too. The DJ and DD are not redundant in these circumstances.

looks like you just answered your question

Jocke · 11 August 2021, 05:32 AM

DJ at work and DD at the weekend works great.

logo · 11 August 2021, 05:41 AM

Nope. I can afford whichever Rolex I want, and when I was choosing my first Rolex a few years ago I looked at a YG DD and a TT DJ, chose the DJ as I liked the look better (was always the model I associated with “Rolex”), preferred the jubilee, and felt it would be far more versatile as I am not one to pursue a large collection. It has not let me down, and I wouldn’t trade it for any other Rolex regardless of cost.

HMHM · 11 August 2021, 05:44 AM

DayDate is much heavier than the DJ because it’s only available in PM. The DJ is much more suitable for daily use and it has more dial options as compared to the DD.

yukosaturno · 12 August 2021, 03:41 AM

Had a few of both, different sizes, materials, bracelets, dials.

The datejust is probably one of the most important watches in watch history, I personally would take a steel 36mm over any daydate, when you already have a few rolexes, then yes, a day date is always a good a addition the the collection, otherwise, no.

shirtguy · 12 August 2021, 04:43 AM

I already have the dd, I. Wondering if i add q dj

If you want visual variety, consider the white gold DJ…just a touch of white gold, in the fluted bezel, otherwise a stainless steel watch. Or, consider a DJ in Everose, if your DD is yellow gold, or vice versa.

To a watch enthusiast, even the slightest difference is difference enough. So, in the end, buy what you really like.
