Been wearing a Sub Date daily since 2008. Purchased today (and waiting for shipment from Watch Chest) a K series Datejust.

In going back and forth, when trying on DJ's during the shopping phase, the "weight/heft" difference between them is obvious. What I'm wondering from daily DJ wearers is whether they find the DJ to be a light feeling heft in general or is that just my perception of how "light" it feels compared to wearing my Sub daily?

It's a very light and comfortable watch.

Useless input: I can only give the opposite comparison: Have had a TT datejust since 2006; just got the new Sub Date C and it's heavier.

DJ are definitely very light in comparison.

Have both. My DJ has Jubliee band. Sub feels much more substantial on the wrist. I like the extra weight- I know its there.

I suppose it is what you become accustomed to. Since buying my first Rolex (a DJ SS/WG), my other watches feel very insubstantial. In fact I hardly ever wear them now.

This is my sense, while it seemed to me the DJ feels light in comparison to the substantial heft of the Sub it is not a "light" watch in an "apples to apples" comparison to a similar style watch. Guess I've also gotten used to that heavier feeling having the Sub on everyday so when I started trying on DJ's the contrast was even more marked, thanks!

But only of a 36mm DJ... The II is comparable to any Sub or GMT

DJs wear super light. Very comfortable. Subs are a bit heavier but still comfortable. Heavy, at least to me is not comfortable. All in all, get quality and don't worry about the weight.
