What do you think ?

You started this because of my comment in the other thread. I asked how a datejust is any less of a sports watch that an Explorer and you didn’t respond.
By definition the datejust is in the classic line, but it is a water resistant watch with seconds hand on a bracelet, and most have lume....no less sporty than an Explorer.
It is not a dress watch

Rolex calls it a classic. Though, I wore a diamond face Movado every day for like 10 years. It was a dress watch. I rocked it in all situations. My buddy has an oyster fluted black 41 he wears daily (ridiculous pineapple bathing suits and wedding Tux)... wear your watch the way you want. Unless it’s a Cellini lol.

Classic.

NDAzone · 18 May 2019, 10:26 AM

I find that mine works as both.

Rolex defines it as a classic watch so there you go.

Boothroyd · 18 May 2019, 11:20 AM

It's one of the reasons I will never part with my DJII--it can fill both niches.

Yobber76 · 18 May 2019, 12:35 PM

I guess I would consider it a classic or dress watch, the sports watches having a purpose like diving, multiple time zones etc.

inadeje · 18 May 2019, 01:39 PM

Smooth bezel, somber blk/wht dial and oyster/jubilee = sporty
Fluted bezel, colorful/diamond dial and jubilee = classic

Wore mine to play golf then to a gala the same day, so I guess it can do both.

Definitely a sports model

Concur your comment. I have a 36 & 41 both in SS/WG. Beautiful watches.

Swede71 · 19 May 2019, 07:34 AM

I find my Datejust II with black dial sporty and classic at the same time. Datejust 36 and 41 more classic dress watches.

VicLeChic · 19 May 2019, 07:51 AM

It's a classic piece, first and foremost. It's water resistant and robust, but doesn't look like a sports watch to me.

pkincy · 20 May 2019, 07:11 AM

And of course the Explorer is shown by Rolex as being in the Professional line. The DJs are all in the Classic line. However most folks don't wear their Submariner or SeaDweller only when they are diving so I imagine you can call it what you want and wear them when you want.

Pauln · 20 May 2019, 07:49 AM

I didn’t know a sport watch couldn’t also be a classic...
I would say it’s less sporty than some watches and sportier than others.

Classic in a Rolex way.
