As a few above have said, if they are into watches a sub, if not I'd go datejust.

but...... dare i say it, their age could be a consideration?

This maybe controversial but if they are 60+ then I'd go for the datejust regardless of whether they are into watches

What's the work environment like? Shirt and tie or more casual? If it's a more formal work environment I'd go with the DJ. If more casual go with the Sub.

Just too much hassle, I'd get the watch that behaves like a normal luxury watch should.

This was along the lines of my thinking when I suggested an OP. The new black or white stick dialed OP would be very nice and appropriate.

Hard to beat a sub for the first.

Sub!

Boaters · 10 April 2018, 11:39 PM

siempreko · 10 April 2018, 11:49 PM

Wow. The world we live in. True but depressing in some ways..

Swatz · 11 April 2018, 12:21 AM

ND Sub would be a great choice, he will love it.

topjimmi · 11 April 2018, 12:39 AM

My vote is for the sub

Onequik135i · 11 April 2018, 12:41 AM

114060 for sure! Nice boss you are

Beckster · 11 April 2018, 01:26 AM

Sub for sure. A very generous boss you are. I’m sure most of us would love to work for you. Really hope this turns out well for you both and your employee appreciates your kind gesture.

If its for an employee, you need to go with Datejust 2. Simple choice.. unless your company is related to sporting activity. Datejust is perfect daily work wear watch from Rolex over Sub no date. Also, having no date are not everyone's personal choice and if it is 1st Rolex, I would think he would like a date as well. My clear choice - Datejust 2

No brainer: the DateJust.

I suspect that most people would prefer cash.

Especially if you want or need to follow the law and consider this part of his compensation, which is taxable.

MesaSean · 11 April 2018, 01:48 AM

Depends on your industry IMO. If you're in a business/dress environment perhaps the DJ2 would work better, but of course a ND Sub can pull off dressy occasions too.

superstarmar · 11 April 2018, 02:14 AM

Sub no date no doubt!!!
So versatile and yet so elegant...
DJ is nice but not as versatile as the Sub... IMHO!

Imagine if you have two employees to reward and one you know loves the look of the Daytona and you can get him one, do you? And then give the other a Sub, which he prefers the look of, but neither of them know of their resales... and then what happens when they both do...

dkg1616 · 11 April 2018, 02:23 AM

Gut tells me sub no question, but how old is he?

Want to hire a 25 year old investment banker?

ap1 · 11 April 2018, 02:27 AM

Sub no doubt

incontrol · 11 April 2018, 12:26 PM

I just bought my best employee a DJ blue dial with stick markers, smooth bezel and Jubilee bracelet. A stunning watch! My employee has been with me 25 years.

First, good on you for recognizing a valuable employee with such a wonderful gift

IMO, nothing says Rolex like a Submariner
