What's the difference between a DJ and a "Date"
Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any difference.
Thanks |

Are you asking between a DateJust and just the Oyster Perpetual Date?
I believe it is size. DJ = 36mm and 41mm and 31(?), while the plain date is 34? I think that's right, but I could be way off.

WELL . . .
One plays music and the other, hopefully, culminates in a happy ending. |

As far as I know, both the Date and the Datejust use the 3125 movement.
Therefore the date changes at midnight. Size and finishes on the Date are a little economical. |

I always thought the difference between them was the DJ had quick set date, you know Date Just :-) and the Date was the old wind to your hearts content to get the date to flick over :-)

The differences between them are:
1) Size - 36mm for the DJ, 34mm for the D 2) Bracelet choice - Oyster and Jubilee for the DJ, just Oyster for the D 3) Bezel Choice - Domed or WG fluted for the DJ, domed, fluted and engine turned for the D 4) Dial choice - significantly more for the DJ, some slightly more old fashioned dials for the D Internally, both use the 3135 movement, both use the same clasp, both have solid end and centre links. |
