A DJ rounds out any great collection, IMHO

My meager collection of two includes a GMTIIC and a TT DJ. I think they complement each other nicely and both suit my 6.5" wrist well. IMO the DJ is a classic Rolex icon and should be a part of anyone's collection.

Dj 36mm perfect

cll · 10 May 2015, 01:30 AM

I will have to go to the nearby AD to have a look at the options ��

broulstone · 10 May 2015, 01:56 AM

They make a great addition to a sports collection👍

This article by Hodinkee that many people have mentioned before makes a great case for the 116234 as both a dress and sporty watch.

I actually like my DJ on a leather bracelet. And it's not "too dressy," and classy cool. Heck, I wear it with a shirt and jeans.

sea-dweller · 10 May 2015, 03:01 AM

A DJ is a good add to a sports collection, for most. For me, I have bought and sold 3 DJ's (all white dial with romans) in the past 15 years, so I initially liked them, then decided to trade/sell them.

VinnieVegas · 10 May 2015, 03:46 AM

I have a 1601, and love it. It's my go to dress watch. I think a DJ is a good part of any collection.

MCO1 · 10 May 2015, 03:58 AM

I have been getting the DJ call lately...I don't know if I will pull the trigger on one or not.

GsurgBM · 10 May 2015, 05:01 AM

Love the DJ

Interesting that most dials here are white or silver.

RockinIt · 10 May 2015, 05:16 AM

I think all collections need at least one DJ/DJII or a DD/DDII choice of size is really up to you and your wrist but no real wrong choice

mrchan · 10 May 2015, 07:36 AM

The 116234 is of course the most beautiful of all the DJ IMHO. here's my baby

Okay, I'll play too!

Here's my first post and a picture of the 2 Datejusts that I was comparing:

I ended up with the 116234 - white gold fluted bezel with a super jubilee bracelet. I figured I should go with a dressier watch for special occasions... I've been wearing it everyday since I've acquired it.

Its my first Rolex, and now I want a sportier watch! HAHA.... it's an addiction and a sickness, but I can't wait to get a 116710 BNLR!!!

cll · 10 May 2015, 06:44 PM

My wife suggested, why don't get a Daytona instead of a DJ?

I was like blown away...The Daytona is almost like a grail watch...

OmegaJJH · 26 June 2015, 06:41 AM

The DJ on jubilee would be the perfect addition to you collection.

GradyPhilpott · 26 June 2015, 07:17 AM

HogwldFLTR · 26 June 2015, 11:56 AM

I recently got my 16013 DJ back from having its original dial reinserted. It's a great watch; also with plexi crystal, tapestry dial, and tritium dial, a true classic.

On the other hand I have a bit newer DJII 116300 which I find lovely and also a great watch. I find it quite comfortable on my 6.5 inch wrist. They are both great watches. Sometimes the 36mm feels and looks a bit small even on my wrist (although the perspective here doesn't show it).

Now it's not that I don't like sport watches as I've got a 40mm 14060 Sub, a 40mm ExpII, and a 40mm GMT all five digit version and all of which work better for me than the newer heftier models (the 114060 just felt way to awkward on me).

lavaman · 26 June 2015, 12:27 PM

Damn, Tudor, that is pretty! Well done

MJ Clark, I think we might be kin. I have wanted a similar DJ to go with my black-insert GMT. And I like bulldogs (but really, who doesn't?)

Cll: I agree with all the other cats around here. A DJ makes a nice compliment to the sets (though I am sad to see I am not the only one who has had similar thoughts....I try to be original). If the step down to a 36mm is too much, there's always the DJ II

DZA3000 · 26 June 2015, 03:30 PM

datejusts are so classic man. it feels so vintage. especially the 36mm... with the DJ2 out, really made me appreciate the classic watch. here's mines. want another one to finish up my DJ collection

datejusting · 27 June 2015, 12:01 AM

That white tapestry dial sure looks good on that older Datejust off Lee's.

Thanks; it's amazing what a small choice like the right dial makes on the desirability of a DJ. I like it a lot better as well.

breitlings · 27 June 2015, 12:58 AM

i like 36 mm size in the dd dj case. especially in gold.
