Dj tt 1601

The 1601 DJ TT is my favorite watch of all time! It constantly amazes me that these old boys still keep COSC time! They endure all kinds of punishment and just keep on keeping on! I just came inside from some nasty yard work where I sweated up a storm, and I just rinsed it off, gave it a wipe, and it’s ready for our next adventure! It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing cargo shorts or a tuxedo, the damn thing is perfectly adaptable to any attire. Is anyone else as fond of these old guys as I am? Cheers!!!

I love them too. Had one years ago and sold it. Looking for a 1601 birth year watch right now.

The 4 digit ref DJ is the ultimate vintage Rolex. In it's millions it created the Rolex legend that sustains Rolex to this day. The niche watches are cute but the DJ is big daddy. :) Anything more is too much, anything less is not enough. It's low profile is it's most attractive quality. :)

Perfectly timed post Butchh! My wife and I are building a desk/bookshelf unit today and I took a little coffee break and was checking TRF. Usually I wear my AK for rough/grungy projects. For some reason I left my TT DJ 16013 on. Lots of sawdust, drilling, sweat, banging into wood corners, etc... Still runs perfectly! See for yourselves:
