scl6118 · 15 June 2010, 03:56 AM

She's a beauty!

Fearsome Puppy · 15 June 2010, 03:57 AM

Great pics and stunning watch. Congrats

chebert · 15 June 2010, 03:57 AM

Classic!

scl6118 · 15 June 2010, 03:58 AM

That's a 36mm right? To get it straight, all DJ's are 36mm, and DJII's are 41mm?

ocwatching · 15 June 2010, 04:04 AM

congrats..enjoy that DJ..
its a classic beauty...

darthmouse · 15 June 2010, 04:25 AM

Beautiful! I love the fluted bezel.

Would someone mind explaining the difference between the Jubilee and Super Jubilee? This has perplexed me...

DWdrummer · 15 June 2010, 04:25 AM

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful timepiece.

That is the quintessential dress watch.

Speed · 15 June 2010, 05:07 AM

Yup the standard DJ is 36mm. Perfect on my 6.5" wrist.

The Super Jubilee has a hidden clasp and solid links. will post photos when I get home tonight.

The old jubilee was hollow, had a rectangular clasp...and was more probe to stretch I believe.

Thanks again for the nice comments!

darthmouse · 15 June 2010, 05:27 AM

Thanks for the explanation, Bill, and I look forward to more pics!

acce1999 · 15 June 2010, 06:18 AM

That's a fine watch! I like how you have captured the colours in your photos. I guess reflections is a major part when it comes to that bezel and the bracelet.

Best,

A

layne · 15 June 2010, 10:56 AM

Looks great Bill - Love the DJ!

Ronak,

Here you go:

Much more solid feel / contiguous look. Not that I do not respect the old bracelets.

Thanks Mark, John & Anders.

darthmouse · 15 June 2010, 12:04 PM

Wow, it really does look like the clasp is integrated/hidden. That is impressive!

jatco · 15 June 2010, 01:18 PM

I love it, bud. That is a classic. And Im tending to lean towards an older version, like yours, vs the new 116233..
I like the subtle markers...(on champagne )..
Thats a classic..
Enjoy it...!

Speed · 15 June 2010, 01:22 PM

Thanks so much Thomas...but this DJ is brand spanking new. The 116234. Was looking for the right prices 16234, but alas, the prices I saw on the mint model I wanted was about $3K. Maybe if I was a more patient guy, I would have waited, but finally got a new watch.

JUSTROLEXES · 16 June 2010, 01:14 PM

Beauty Bill, a Big Congrats and wear it in good health

marcinthemiddle · 21 June 2010, 03:51 PM

Hey Bill! I haven't been on TRF in like, FOREVER- butI just wanted to say 'congrats', she's a beaut, a 'classy-classic'!!! The wrist shot is killer! You wear her well!

Speed · 21 June 2010, 03:56 PM

Thanks

Go to sleep!

ryrybaby12 · 21 June 2010, 04:00 PM

Love this watch!

andrew79 · 21 June 2010, 04:17 PM

sweet !!

davestan · 21 June 2010, 04:35 PM

The futed bezel is beautiful , an icon and instantly recognisable Rolex symbol. Your photo's are great and really show the Datejust's classic qualities off.

Shieldsy · 21 June 2010, 07:10 PM

Now that's what I imagine when I think of a Rolex. What a stunner, great photos too.
Enjoy it to the max - best wishes from Scotland.
