You guys told me the one that talks to me...this one talks to me.....

I havent seen it in person. I want to go see it in person and try it on first...I will try on a SUB and a GMT2 But this is substaintially less money.

K....Be honest guys...I cant take it.

SS Oyster · 4 January 2010, 02:28 PM

That was my first Rolex, but with turned SS bezel. Love that Roman white dial - looks amazing. Great choice.

PeteNYC13 · 4 January 2010, 02:30 PM

Honestly?!
You can't go wrong, it's classy and timeless, go for it!

Enjoy it and post pictures when you get it.

if u cant take it.. we cant be honest.

seriously tho, is that ur pocket talking substaintially or the watch talking substantially ?

sub or gmt all day long for me..

but go see it in person to see which one u like better.

Well since you asked, I like it.

Here's its older cousin.

crazycarlitos · 4 January 2010, 02:33 PM

now the jubilee looks nice !

aaronr · 4 January 2010, 02:34 PM

like a Porsche 911, can't beat the classic lines of a DJ. Love it!

cdnwatchguy · 4 January 2010, 02:35 PM

really liked it but the total lack of any lume was an annoyance.

metal man · 4 January 2010, 02:37 PM

Good call. Love the dome bezel and the roman num. There's plenty of time for the subs and all the rest. Lets face it , if we were all totally contint with only one watch we would'nt be enjoying each others company right now.....A very fine choice.

Sonny Crockett · 4 January 2010, 02:40 PM

Very Nice but I prefer the Arabic numbers they have Lume, also if it was a DJ for me it would be DJ II Arabic. But we are not talking about me, We are talking about you and if that watch talks to you then that's the one. I think you need to try the ones you mention 1st and actually see this watch in person before you make up your mind though. good luck

Mr. K · 4 January 2010, 02:41 PM

I think that combo is perfect, so much I have two. One old and one new.

The oyster bracelet with smooth bezel is a good combo, but to add a little more flair the romans over stick adds just the right balance. All of course, IMHO.

Mr. K · 4 January 2010, 02:43 PM

Also if you are patient, you can get a good new style pre-owned model with this set up for around $3200 give or take a few.

sea-dweller · 4 January 2010, 02:54 PM

That is a very fine DJ ! I love the dial/bezel and bracelet combo myself -

I know the seller, great guy. Not sure if the watch is still available. it used to be mine.

wcl884 · 4 January 2010, 03:28 PM

DJ is only 36mm, while Sub and GMT are both 40mm. The DJ was too small for me.

j174con · 4 January 2010, 03:51 PM

Hey thanks watchguy...Ill check it out!! Good looking out!

rkammer · 4 January 2010, 04:11 PM

If that one speaks to you then, you should consider it. But, to me, a 36mm watch is too small and I'm not fond of Roman numeral dials. They're just too busy for my taste. What size is your wrist? If it's over 7 inches, and you like white dials, you could consider an Explorer II with white dial. That would be my choice. Enjoy whatever Rolex you decide on.

j174con · 4 January 2010, 04:22 PM

My Brother has a tag with a standard 7" braclet, and it twists on my wrist...A little too loose. His tag is 38.4mm and its not too small but its not huge either....

brettpaul · 4 January 2010, 05:13 PM

Great choice!! I think you may change you mind if you try on the SS Sub or GMT IIc though!!

jlopicco · 4 January 2010, 05:41 PM

Its funny, I was just looking at pictures of this watch today and thought that this is possibly the nicest datejust I've seen.

carlhaluss · 4 January 2010, 05:43 PM

I love it! A great choice. The Roman Numerals work really well.
Cheers,
Carl

Gerardus · 4 January 2010, 05:50 PM

I love the DJ!

xjeeunitx · 4 January 2010, 07:01 PM

I love this model especially with the fluted WG bezel. White or black looks lovely. It looks stunning. Really does.

Nairn1980 · 4 January 2010, 07:11 PM

IMO the only things it is missing is the Jubilee Bracelet, and the 18ct white gold fluted bezel.

that was my first DJ. Ivory Arabic Dial which was stunning, fluted bezel and Jubilee Bracelet. Cost me £2350 in 2005 and sold it 2 yeas later for £1400 immaculate.

Wish I'd kept it now....even an Air King is over £3k...whats that all about?

Lowflight · 4 January 2010, 10:41 PM

My wife has the same watch, but in Silver rather than White...otherwise exact. It is VERY comfortable to wear. The only drawback to me is lack of lume to see time at night. Otherwise...awesome. It is a daily wearer and beater for her and still looks great even with PCL.

SDDS · 4 January 2010, 10:57 PM

great choice

DWdrummer · 4 January 2010, 11:00 PM

I really like that model. That Romans and the smooth bezel go well together. That is pure timeless elegance. Understated, yet classic and beautiful at that same time.
