I've gone back and forth, back and forth. Whenever I see a Submariner on someone else's wrist, I am mesmerized by its beauty and bling.

But I just can't get myself to hold onto one. And the buying and selling can get expensive.

There's something about the simplicity of the DJ. I think it's the smooth, shiny bezel (when applicable) that sings to me. While I wish it was bigger (40 mm) just not as crazy about the DJ II, where I think the proportions are funny (huge dial markers). I had a movado years ago that I loved, and I know it was for the simplicity. I also kind of like Panerai.

Curious if anyone can relate?

Nope........Sub or DJII for me.........Datejust has kind of become a girls watch these days.

Rolex sells more datejusts.

Girls watch? Man I'm sick of hearing that. Not everyone likes big watches.

Profundity is not some people's strong suit.

I like my Explorer 114270 and my DJ 116200-63600, too.

Wait, maybe we forgot to read the official style book for what we're not supposed to wear.

........profundity: deep insight, great depth of knowledge or thought.

Picturing a Jersey Shore-ish guy who thinks a blinged out Breitling is the greatest thing ever.

The Deepsea has also become a girl's watch.

cdnwatchguy · 2 April 2012, 03:48 AM

and never kept them. Some fine looking pieces but never properly suited my lifestyle. I have had 4 different Subs and now have the Sea Dweller. Not all watches appeal to everyone so um...wear what you like, boy or girl.

Cru Jones · 2 April 2012, 03:50 AM

It's about the watch and what makes you happy to wear it. Never, ever, have I heard of a man hearing the line "I wish it were 5 millimeters bigger".

A Rolex Datejust a "girls watch"? Man, it's been a while since I've read anything that preposterous.

azguy · 2 April 2012, 04:02 AM

DJ are awesome, 36mm is perfect for a dress watch IMO

Plus, SS or TT is super easy to wear and looks great on a jubilee

Short answer? No.

Long answer? No!

sixers_610 · 2 April 2012, 06:07 AM

I will say, I like the ceramic sub more than the classic.

I think the shininess likens it more to a DJ for me.
