Which should I get?!

So, I'm thinking about buying a new Rolex and I'm split in between two models: the no date Sub, and the 36mm TT DJ with a black dial. So guys, which should I get??? I'm 22, have a 6,5" wrist, just so you know.

You're 22 and want a TT DJ?
Get the Sub

Two tone DateJust isn't the best choice for a 22 year old. Get the Sub.

Different slant, but I'd suggest the all steel DateJust or the SubDate. I think the two tone watches look a little too old for a really young guy. Buy one when you get to 40.

I'd say the Sub if it were me (especially when I was 22).

I already have a Steel/WG DJ (the 1601, my avatar), and I don't really like the Sub date. But tell me, why do you think the No Date Sub looks old?

I think the two tone watches look old because I see so many of them on people my age....old.

Nobody said the No Date Sub looks old.

The sub is rugged, sporty and has a great lineage. It is a great watch to wear day in day out. If you live a lifestyle that you feel better fits a TT then the DJ is a good call. If you live a more casual and sporty lifestyle then the Sub. I have a 114060 and a 11623 and I wear the Sub the most of the two but my lifestyle fits into the later of the two categories.
