IMHO see the DJ more as a dress watch, but that's maybe cause I'm more of a sports/professional line person, and don't suit up often, but love the dial, sounds a bargain!!!!! BUT i couldn't see myself wearing it as a everyday watch it just wouldn't feel right "to me" or "be me"

I like it

I have to laugh though, your thinking like me. A rolex for the daily beater, to save wear & tear on the other Rolex's sitting at home

mailman · 18 May 2006, 08:06 AM

I lkie it Craig, especially the dial. But here's the thing. IMO, the DJ is more of a dress watch than a daily beater and at 36mm is too small for me to wear. If it smiles at you then go for it, but if you're asking for other's opinions about it, your questions are already answered. For if it really did jump out at you, it would be in your possesion already

Just my .02 pal

It's nice, but not my style.

Rockrolex · 18 May 2006, 11:05 AM

I don't know about it as a daily beater, Craig, but I do love the Roman dial DJ. What the heck, it could easily serve as a daily wearer. And at that price, I would snap it up. I'm sure it will appraise for at last double that price. That's based on what my TT Roman dial appraised at for insurance.

I would snap it up in a New York minute if I were you.

Mrdi · 18 May 2006, 11:56 AM

I'd wear it as a Beater.
An office beater.
A desk diver
Will even suffice at cocktail time.
The price is very fair.

thats a great price! let us know what you do

JJ Irani · 18 May 2006, 05:09 PM

Hey CJ,

That is a beauty!! Love the Romans, love the dial, love the bracelet and love the price....and the size is perfect for your wrists!! And also love that engine-turned SS bezel!

Congrats, my friend, wear it in good health!!

padi56 · 18 May 2006, 05:12 PM

Very nice Craig always loved Roman dials any brand,looks in great shape but hardly a beater.

Gedanken · 18 May 2006, 05:21 PM

That would definitely be a nice acquisition, Craig. The Oyster bracelet makes it much more of a daily wearer than a Jubilee would.

18 May 2006, 10:15 PM

Very nice Craig. I know that as 'daily beater' you mean watch to wear while you're sitting your Mr. Plod arse down at a desk all day. Perfect watch for that, and at a great price.

GerardoG · 19 May 2006, 12:04 AM

With that pice, I would do it!

Biblebanger · 19 May 2006, 12:10 AM

I would go for it at that price. Even if you end up not liking it I would guess you could easily recover your money. Cool bezel, Roman Numerals, Oyster bracelet Nice!

Mr. K · 19 May 2006, 01:19 AM

Nice! Rhodium Romans? If so, VERY nice.

Plus the engine turned bezel, is now limited as they no longer produce them. You just need the other trillion Rolexes with that bezel to die out.

But for me, a daily beater? YES! I mean to be honest I work at a desk or in the classroom, not hard manual labor. In fact the only time I wear a beater watch is if I rollerblade. Concrete abrasion deserves a "special" watch, AKA titanium invicta.

Very nice watch at a very nice price.

Earl · 19 May 2006, 02:57 AM

C.J. is that a acrylic crystal on that? Guess not if only 3 or so years old but,...... to me it looks like a duck and now with no lug holes and $1700. I almost hear it quacking lol.

Earl · 19 May 2006, 03:07 AM

not sure however, I do think rhodium is a mixture of metals so you would be correct in my eyes.... I'd think the indexs would be wg or ss but, I have been known to be wrong before ;o)

That watch looks great exactly as it is, CJ....stick with it!!

dman · 19 May 2006, 05:34 AM

Craig, I like it, in fact I think it is great looking. The question is will you wear it, or if not are you cool with it just sitting in the box. That would be the only reason I wouldn't get it, it would not even fight for playing time. MHO

Sorry, why is that?

That's an aesthetic judgement on my part. The loose logical sequence is that beaters tend to be sporty, and that the Oyster is sportier than the Jubilee.
