maybe it's supposed to balance somewhat with the date window? dunno. if you look just at the rectangle at the 9 spot, it's true that it looks out of place.

That unsightly white stick at the 9. It would be in my winder if it had a beautiful anniversary green IX instead.

Perhaps Rolex will reconsider or I will soften up, but neither have happened yet.

Beautiful aesthetics and design on the DJ, but my AD lady still feels the watch looks kinda "funny" on my wrist!!

If only Rolex would pump it up to the PERFECT 39 mm dress size!!

I agree. I'm so used to wearing large oversized watches...still getting used to the 36mm size. It is comfortable!

A Datejust looks good with everything from a t-shirt to a tux. It even looks good laying on furniture!

When I had my first - in fact it was my first ever Rolex- I thought it was to small. But after a day it just looked right, and felt right.

I am a DJ fan and over the years they have had everything thrown at them and they still worked after.

Great watches
