36mm two-tone DJ is one of the most iconic
Yeah Submariner and all that... but this might be the most recognizable Rolex watch ever made.

You may well be right. Between the 70s and the 90s, it was by far the most recognisable Rolex.

I really love the six digit 36mm, especially the 11 series which I see as the standard for the model.

I think it is indeed the most iconic recognizable watch ever, let alone Rolex. That is coming from a submariner fanatic.

Really prefer the brushed lugs on the older DJ’s.

Not my taste, but am not disagreeing with the OP.

8 days straight with my 16013, which is a multi-year record for me. Some of the criticisms of the older Rolexes (the jankiness of the bracelet) can actually be a strength. It's super light and comfortable and the bracelet conforms pretty well to my wrist, though that's probably applies to all jubilees.

Have worn mine almost daily since purchasing 13 years ago. 1987 classic 16013. Honestly the most comfortable watch i have owned.

I do like it but have issues with the combo of gold and stainless steel. The gold makes the stainless steel look more grey, whilst on a pure S/S model, it looks more silvery. That's why I wouldn't buy a special someone a two-tone Vendome Cartier ladies watch, as the steel looked too industrial. Not so bad on a men's watch, as the watch will naturally have more of an industrial look. Luckily I found a nice S/S Cartier (Ballon Bleu), so I didn't have to go all the way with solid gold!!

Many of the stainless parts on TT are brushed and appear to be less shiney.

Beautiful, really a gorgeous watch, but personally I think it looks too small unless you have a small wrist. I can't see 36mm becoming the standard size for the vast majority of men, as it used to be.
