Anybody have and wear this often?

[toneafficianado]

I have an older sub, 14060M, and a DJ41.
The case size of those is very similar. Sub C ...I used to have one, stands a bit taller off the wrist and is a bulkier case.
It would not fit as well with really tight cuffs but it sure looks great in any environment.
You will love the DJ, and the choice of what to wear.
You have no lume on the diamond markers though. Be aware of that. the lume on the DJ41 stick markers is really good and it would be a deal breaker for me if it didn't have any.

DJ41 is a must have imo... TT or SS

[TakeYourTime]

I totally understand you @ OP
The Sub is a sport watch and I rather like to wear a Sub with polo and jeans and a DJ (with fluted bezel and jubilee) with a suit.

In order to diverse even more I'm on the list for a SD43 and a Sky D black ;-)

Just ask us if you want more reasons to buy a DJ... we are always here for you lol

Lloooll! Couldn’t ask for a better group of friends! Man those are two amazing watches to be on the list for. Those two would be my first choice but with insane wait times and inflated second hand markets I went with the no date sub and dj41 as nice alternative.

Great and beautiful choices! Especially now during those crazy times

I"m not sure a DJ goes any better with a suit than a Sub or a GMT. My 2 cents. However, I'm ok with all the above.

If you really want a true dress watch, then get something with a leather strap. (e.g., JLC Reverso).

Nowadays, I see people wearing suits with Apple Watches on gray or blue rubber bands.

Now that's something that should be debated...A leather band would be fine...

Ahhh...I see what you mean, so what you're thinking of is a Rolex Daytona.....

That watch is literally the closest one that can do both pretty well. Especially the non ceramic bezel (that’s why I like the non ceramic ones better)

The Daytona is a nice reference for sure, but the Rolex Submariner, the original no date version, is without a doubt an elegant piece that can easily stand as a dress watch with mountains of provenance....the Rolex Submariner (Date or No Date) is classic and perfect in a tuxedo, suit, jeans, or a bathing suit in my opinion.

Really is and can be your only watch, it's an epic reference, my opinion only.....

[007_Omega]

It's a watch for every occasion. Frankly, a $7.5k Submariner is enough watch for anyone but people here have the luxury of owning multiple pieces.

You want an excuse to buy another watch. Get the dress piece until you need another excuse to buy another watch. lol

This.

often we get caught up in this niche world


ALSO.... i support everyone getting another watch

The Sub no date is a true Classic. When I bought my 5513 it went perfect with my ARMY Uniform. Five years later it went perfect with my Chinese Taylor Custom made Suit I brought home from Singapore, when I got Married. The Sub has a perfect balance with no cyclops. Just love the basics. Still Love it, still have it. Congrats !

[justdate]

I would agree that the Sub doesn’t go perfectly with a suit though plenty of people pull it off. If you have the funds ready to go the DJ41 is an amazing watch, and another true Rolex icon. An excellent addition to the collection, I’d make sure you get it on the jubilee bracelet for the iconic look and to have more diversity between the 2 watches. Diamonds I think can be Ok, but you can grow tired of them.

My favourite duo right now is my black SubC and Gold Day-Date, which is a similar idea to yours. Amazing watches.

I wore my 16610 on my wedding day. Given my gray vest, and tie, could not have looked better. In looking at the pics and video I can see the watch, but blends in perfectly. I think the older model is a bit more under the radar and so does not stand out with a suit. The new models while also great models, have a bit more wrist presence with the larger lugs and shinier bezel and this standout more calling attention to it with a suit.

[fastfreddie]

I wonder what others thought.

[zengineer]

To my eye it's about the bezel style. I don't think one has to jump all the way to a 34mm two hand dress watch on a leather strap just because they have a necktie on...that's more tuxedo territory. I just prefer a simpler design with a dress shirt with or without a jacket and tie. I wear my Milgauss and even a Speedmaster or my Titanium Seamaster that has a low key bezel that matches the case with a suit all the time. Just not a watch where the bezel is the dominant feature like a Batman or god forbid something like a YM II.

Even this Sinn 203 is less bold. Probably would not pair it with a suit but it plays OK with a dress shirt.

I agree that the bezel and even the thickness (and the lugs to a smaller extent) play a bigger role than the actual diameter for me.

I agree - nothing better then a DJ and a suit. Personally I’m not a fan of the diamonds.

It’s such a coincidence to read this post because I feel exactly the same as the op. I too have a submariner and love it but I want a blue or rhodium datejust 41 to wear with a suit on more “formal” occasions. I have struggled with the diamonds or no diamonds decision too. Leaning towards diamonds because hey “it’s a diamond encrusted Rolex!” How fantastic is that? But I do get the subtle, classic appeal of the stick markers so it’s a struggle.

The Sub has a first class look when dressed up.

Hardy could wear a rainbow Daytona with a pair of jorts and Hawaiian t-shirt and still look like a boss.

But regardless. the sub does look great dressed up or down

Unlike white pants and no socks in a braggadocio shot, that sub is actually kinda classy indeed 👍

SO, I kinda now want the DateJust 41, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, black or blue dial, diamond markers. I know that diamond markers part is kinda polarizing to people. Anybody have that exact config that they have pics of under a shirt/suit cuff?

No I don't have a modern DJ or DD; I have the Sky D with blue dial as well as older DJ and DD watches. I also have and OP and a 6694 the later is a manual wind date from Rolex. They all can be used as dressier watches than the Sub C. Actually the DJ isn't really a dress watch nor are any of the Rolex line other than the Cellinis.

I don't really think that anyone now considers the Sub C a tool watch. It stopped being that a while ago. It's now an expensive piece of jewelry and really should be worn as such. Oh it can still do it's old tricks but with the shiny ceramic bezel it really doesn't look the part. Besides, no one really cares what's on someone's wrist other than your basic WISs. Buy what you like and listen to your feelings however recognize that none are judging you by the watch you wear with a suit.

I often wonder why folks around here think the sub looks good with a suit. I don't see it.

Almost as bad as a bald patch in an open top car.

Awful analogy! No resemblance to (my) reality. None whatsoever!

[Widows Son]

I wouldn't wear a sports watch with a suit any more than I'd drive a pickup truck to a wedding. If you want to buy a sub as your only Rolex, then spend $500.00 on a really nice vintage Hamilton,Omega, or a multitude of other dress watches. The only time I wear a suit is for Church or Lodge so I'd be hard pressed to spend thousands on a Patek, Vacheron, Reverso ect. A DJ is probably more versatile than a sports watch and can probably be worn in all but the most formal occasions. I'd suggest thinking about a DJ which can be worn about 90% of the time, and for the other 10% a relatively inexpensive vintage dress watch on a strap.

I agree, I prefer to wear a formal dress watch with a suit. Sport watches draw the eye too much when worn with a suit. People should look at you and say "Wow that guy looks sharp!" not "What kind of watch is that rogue wearing?"

I like the suggestions above Patek, Vacheron, Reverso, vintage Omega pie pan... So many fun choices!

DJ is ideal with a suit, used to wear its big brother with one, esp nice with matching cufflinks.
