Datejust II First Rolex

Hi,

Recently been looking for a new watch and fell in love with the DJ II w/ Rhodium Diamond Dial.

The only problem I am facing is am I to young for the watch? Currently mid 20's and work in sales environment.

The watch is beautiful and want to use it as a daily. What do you guys think?

You aren't too young for it. The DJ was my first watch when I turned 21 many years ago. Go for it!

Not at all. Early 30s here. Love the watch. Many compliments, too.

No, not at all. Go for it.

There is no such thing as too young or too old for any watch.

No, and esp the DJ2 with Oyster bracelet and the larger size is quite a sporty dress watch now, a real all rounder, so go for it!

I'm in my late 20's and have a DJ2, not a diamond dial, but you aren't too young for it. I'm also in a sales environment.

Definitely not too young for it. DJII was my first as well.

The color on the face of that watch is somewhat understated, so it's actually a little less attention grabbing that the dark face Datejusts in my opinion. So I think it works well. A beautiful watch without being too over-the-top.
