I just bought a DJ2 yesterday 116300. Been debating whether to buy new or second hand for a couple of years, but plumped for new. Really loving the watch and now already thinking about investing in a Milgauss.

jho462 · 28 September 2015, 07:56 AM

Thanks again everyone

that's a great idea with the out of state deal to save taxes, i for sure have my eye on the dealers from the forum

i'm going to start looking at my AD this week

Thanks

Welcome, that's quite a story, happy to hear you found light at the end of the tunnel, good luck with the search.

evlkoala · 28 September 2015, 11:39 AM

Welcome, good choice on DJ

jho462 · 30 September 2015, 12:58 PM

Update guys

went to my AD here in town
spent about 30 mins in there looking at datejusts.... dealer is a really cool guy and made me feel right at home, showed me the watches i wanted to see and let me try them on, went thru the troble to lay out a few next to one another and let me look at them....

i'm close
its a toss up between a white face and silver face with sticks and fluted bezel
probably do the oyster band because of the clasp

ill keep you all posted

Colin10101 · 30 September 2015, 01:06 PM

Wow, great choices.

Of those two, I'd take the silver stick dial.

But I think both of those are just screaming for a jubilee bracelet ;)

myc ritz · 30 September 2015, 01:24 PM

My favorite two Datejusts! Oyster bracelet is sporty and I love how the silver dial looks in different lighting. Also, the lume on the stick markers is awesome.

i'm torn, on the bracelet
however, the way i am and the way i wear watches.... i'm a single watch guy, i will wear this watch day in and day out. so i'm leaning a bit on functionality.... i really like the adjustable link feature

but yea
its a hard decision
:)

a good one
but hard

The lume is a must for me, i work on dark stages most of the time so the lume is very important.... it made the dial choice easy

functionally

get the silver,

I haven't really worn the oyster bracelet but I can tell you the jubilee is very comfortable

Lordofrolex · 30 September 2015, 01:48 PM

Welcome can't wait for you to post your watch on this forum

Old Soul · 30 September 2015, 02:34 PM

Great choices! I would go with the white. I say keep the oyster. I have a smooth bezel 36mm DJ with jubilee and smooth bezel and wish I got the fluted with the oyster! With the dj, I feel that the sportiness or dressiness is determined largely by the bracelet and much less so by the bezel. The jubilee looks way to dressy for my casual dress. Oyster and fluted will look great with casual/business casual and be able to flex into more formal dress. If you go with a jubilee it looks dressy all the time. Definitely go with fluted, IMO the new rounded smooth bezels are not as nice looking. Let us know what you end up with!

my job affords me you dress pretty casual, also i collect adidas superstars
( over 200 pair ) i always have and always will wear superstars with every outfit

so i think you may have a point with the casual thing

Thanks for the input guys
