First of many posts...maybe you can help.
Hi there this is my 1st post! I began poking around the net and found this great forum a few days ago. So many great watches in the gallery. My second Rolex is definately going to be a Kermit sub but I need to nail down what the first will be.
My first Rolex will be a Datejust and I also plan to order a matching DJ for my wife to be. Now all I need to do is figure out how I want to order it but need help! A local AD has a SS DJ with a Rodium face with roman numerals, fluted 18KG bezel and jubilee bracelet. I attached a photo of what it looks like and although I like it it seems a bit too busy to me. I wonder if it may look better with a smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet or maybe an oyster bracelet and fluted bezel. What do you think? I was hoping some may have photos of what that may look like or maybe just good with photoshop :) Thanks! |

Hey jet..WELCOME TO TRF!!! DJ is the most longest production model of Rolex...i think almost everyone at one point started on a DJ...The one you posted is very nice..i think its very classy...but it seems like the watch never smile back at you..i think in your mind your looking at a sports models than a DJ...but since you want a paring one with your wife...get something with a simpler dial....Dj has the best his and hers watches and so is the DD...i love the flute bezel than a smooth one because smooth bezel can be easily get scratched...I hope that helps...your from toronto we have a lot of people here from Canada....

Welcome, and I respectfully suggest the fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet. That is a classic look.

Welcome to TRF. I bet after you've been here a while you'll find exactly what you'd like as your first Rolex, and it may a watch you haven't seen, or considered, yet.
Cheers, Chris

Hi, I love that DJ. If you find it too busy try without numerals. Just stick markers. It should look "plainer".

Beautiful DJ. I love the roman numbers. It's truly a classic watch. Good luck on your decision and welcome to TRF.
