I wear these for work, so they get plenty of wear, more than the others. I don't see many of the Arabic face with the numerals in this orientation, as opposed to the bottom of the Arabic numerals facing towards the center. I don't mind the latter with Roman numerals on the dial.

Tapestry dials of the world unite! Wore mine every day for 30 years too! It went in pools, lakes, hot tubs, whirlpools, on golf courses, playing tennis, on vacation, etc. Admittedly this was all before I joined TRF and found out it couldn't do any of those things...

Now it sits as my Daytona is my daily, but it's still a great watch!

I have evolved to the point where I like my DJ41 as much as my Sub. I never ever thought that would be the case, but here we are.

I love my father's DJ - that'll be passed along to my 14 grandkids.

It's a 6305 roulette.

I much prefer my DJ41 to my BLNR nowadays.

If I could only keep one, it would be the Datejust by some margin.
The DJ on jubilee is much more comfortable and I have no need for a GMT complication really.

They are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, DJs mine. Both traded away. Now I've got my DD40 as consolation.

I love the DJ. I've had several come and go, but I still have my first. This lovely 36mm Turn-O-Graph (purchased in 2011). The slate dial and red accents are really eye-catching, imho.

Love my 116234! I purchased since it has the 3135 movement and railroad track similar to my Dad’s 16233. My Mom bought it for him when he retired from the Army right before we left Brussels (NATO was his last assignment) in 1994.

(Will post photo when I reach the required minimum number of posts.)
