Datejust... SS vs TT vs YG
Hi all. WE are looking at a datejust, men's fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet.
It is available as Stainless Steel, Two tone, and Yellow Gold. Which one you like best and why ? Which one you would hate to buy, and why ? please feel free to fully express yourselves, ex: if you think all gold watches belong only in Vegas, then please say so ! :) |

It truly is your choice..it is what you like. I have a new ss sub..to get this I sold my TT sub blue face....I always wanted the SS but listened to others and bought the TT sub and was never 100% happy...maybe 95% but not like the 100% I am now....so truly get whatever you feel is the best and which one you like as they all are great watches.

Either TT or SS. If it were all gold then I feel like I'd only bring it out for special occasions.

TT has a nice weight to it and the gold IMHO seems to contrast great with the SS, Ive only just got this so any excuse to show a picture.

The best option for DJ,for me,is TT,because SS is more apropriate for sporty tool watches and YG looks too much serious and is perfect for Day-Date.But,I think that the first DJ that I`m gonna buy will be SS.Why?Well,I like silver color and it`s less expensive than TT!

TT. SS is a little bland in my book for a dress watch like the DJ, and the YG looks like a president wannabe.

I have both SS and TT DJs but I would say that the TT is the more versatile of the two.....Go for the TT and you won't be disappointed.

I like both the SS, TT and YG versions but to me the TT is a classic Rolex combination and recognisable from a mile away and so personally, I don't think you would go far wrong with the TT, but then again I suppose it's more a question of presonal taste and what suits you more than anything!
Here's a pic of mine with the Ivory & Roman dial (any excuse). |

First, I much prefer a DJ with a Jubilee dial over Oyster, at least for a man's watch. Insofar as metal, my choices are:
TT (RG more than YG) SS Gold (price point of all gold DJ is so close to DD, so I would plunge for the DD at that point)

The TT DJ is the classic Rolex..
I would save the SS for a sports model.

The DJ in my mind is a dress watch. Nothing looks better IMHO than a TT with a white face. Best wishes on your potential ourchase.

TT is the classic DJ look....then again i'm biased...I have one
There is a certain classic look for each watch: DJ = TT, DD = YG, GMT/Submariner/Daytona/Sea Dweller = SS

I bought the SS DateJust because that's what I could afford at the moment. I actually think it looks great on the Jubilee bracelet. Just look at that great picture of Dan's. However, the TT DateJust is the first Rolex I fell in love with as a kid and I hope to add one of those to the collection one day. It's all a matter of choice and you really can't go wrong
