I used to hate DD and DJ...I think it's old man's watch. Since the 2018 Rolex bring the Jubilee bracelet and combined with the Pepsi GMT...it does catch a lot of attention to those who doesn't like the jubilee before. I think the DD and the older 116334-hidden clasp one are really beautiful bracelet, must cop one of those in the future!

The Jubilee on the 36 is what I would consider perfection. The 41 it’s very good, that clasp is somewhat acceptable but far from ideal from an aesthetic perspective. The DD and DJ though, 36 or 40, or 41 is stunning eye candy as well as comfort and truly classic Rolex. They’re for young and old, sport or dress. I’ve had and have a few and absolutely love them.

The watch is a success and proven.

I still have the TT, won’t let that one go. Especially with the silver stick.

The DD is on another level.

Thanks mister

I’ll encourage anyone to add a DJ to their collection.

One day I hope to have a DD.

You managed to create some amazing shots.

Anyone considering a DJ could be sold by looking at these.

Thanks. The DJ is a special watch and has so much soul.

Funny you mention the “old man watch” stigma. Was having dinner and drinks with my then girlfriend and another couple. The guy makes a comment about my DJ and calls it an old man watch while he shows me what a real watch is. I am pretty sure it was either a Graham or U-boat.

In any case. Modern 6 digits look nothing like their 5 digit counterparts. I actually really like the Rolex classic line. No need for a DJ but hope to pick up a DDII some day.

As an old man myself, I'm hopeful that a genius such as yourself avoids these references at all cost.

I am not wrong just being honest ...lol...that's what I was thinking before I got my first rolex 16610

Brew · 2 November 2019, 07:29 PM

"Hate" seems a tad strong.

Often times stuff that is thought of as "for old men" is just stuff that has withstood time's test and worked as designed. You know, like old men. Nothing wrong with that, imo.

The DJ especially in the 36mm is a very honest watch. It does anything you need.

CPRWATCH · 2 November 2019, 07:49 PM

36mm DJ = classic in any combo .

fabio62 · 2 November 2019, 08:06 PM

How can you hate a Daydate.... is impossible.

Did someone said 36 MM DD?

jimcameron · 2 November 2019, 09:23 PM

In fairness, he did say " used to hate". Maybe now that he has been on the forum for a few months he better appreciates the function more that the star power. Maybe....but doubtful.

You might consider the 18234 as well. I love the Day function and double quick set after having had an 1803 for a number of years!!! Just a great watch!!!

amh · 2 November 2019, 10:12 PM

You're right, it's not an old man's watch. It's now a ladies' watch!

It's an old ladies watch. The day I buy my wife mens-sized DJ or a DD, is the day we officially stop having sex.

I’m not sure I agree with it’s ‘an old ladies watch’. Women of all ages have embraced the bigger, bulkier, men’s sized gold watches, especially the recognized premium brands like Rolex.
