I HATE my DJ.

AlexZ · 20 January 2011, 02:48 PM

Love my DJ II. The bezel just pops with the rhodium dial and blue arabic numerals.

zeuloa · 29 January 2011, 04:53 PM

Awesome - Lets see some more!!!

asadtiger · 29 January 2011, 04:57 PM

excellent watches guys and great variety...there are just so many models of the DJ that there is bound to one perfet for eveyone's taste

Stratsteve · 29 January 2011, 11:49 PM

Kokyuryoku and Air King Dan, your watches are stunning. I like the mimimalist type look of both of your dials. Kokyuryoku, the black band really makes your watch stand out. All the watches in this thread are beautiful.

I absolutely love my 116234 Datejust. With the jubilee bracelet, it is the most comfortable watch I own (other than my G Shocks of course!)...

Tunacan26 · 30 January 2011, 02:04 AM

I do.

Plus, he's a great little brother as well....

My wife totally agrees about the jubilee bracelet and how comfortable it feels. Very dressy and yet very practical. Only one other bracelet I like better - the president WG bracelet.

ncstate1201 · 30 January 2011, 02:10 AM

Yeah I did have a piepan gloss black datejust in stainless with 18k wg bezel tiffany & co on the dial. I put it on a black tiffany sharkskin band I shouldn't have sold that

Still have the tapestry (although I am selling it)

And we gotta get some Thunderbird love, especially with the datejust anniversary jubilee dial

I have this picture on my desktop for easy access, it's simply that beautiful. This is probably going to be my first Rolex, unless the TT fluted bezel DateJust somehow grabs the lead.

SkyKing31 · 30 January 2011, 01:51 PM

I have many different Rolex watches .... My DateJust (16013) is my favorite watch .. It is a beautiful classic, and I will never part with it

wach16 · 30 January 2011, 02:18 PM

Here is mine on a new leather strap. Oyster bracelet is in the drawer for the winter

Warnsboy · 30 January 2011, 03:02 PM

My first Rolex and it hasn't seen much wrist time lately. I even thought about flipping it. Before listing it I decided to wear it to the office this week and fell in love again...nothing like the DJ....Definitely a classic and must have.

Speed · 30 January 2011, 03:05 PM

Michael, I LOVE that Tapestry dial. I was looking at a watch similar to yours (but with a fluted bezel) before I bought my 116234. Bernhard watch was asking $3200 for it and I just could not pay that much for it - so I bought a new model. My first and only BNIB Rolex!

gmtobsessed · 30 January 2011, 04:44 PM

I'm wearing it again this week, thanks to this thread

after it stays untouched for 6+ months in the box.

heres my beauty dj

speedo · 17 February 2011, 07:36 PM

beautiful watches everyone! i love thos white dial versions. so elegant and understated. simply beautiful.
here is mine (somehow i am not able to take a decent photo of it):

jamesbondOO7 · 17 February 2011, 08:39 PM

I love mine!

Rolex77 · 17 February 2011, 08:46 PM

my datejust, clean and simple. Love it

jamesbondOO7 · 17 February 2011, 08:50 PM

It seems that the shape of the DJ has changed even with the 36mm. When I look at the 2 pictures above, the second one seems more "fat" for lack of a better word. What has been the evolution of the DJ 36mm over the years?

jamesbondOO7 · 17 February 2011, 09:00 PM

ok, got the answer here :

*Revised dial choices

The easy way to tell the difference is the model number: if it's 5 digit, it's the previous generation, if it's 6 digit, it's brand new

Here is mine, 1969 Ref. 1603.

( I still have the original Silver Dial, i had this Charcoal one put on in 1999, when it was serviced. )

Why do i love the watch so much ? i was married in 1969, and my son was born the same year. ( Hey!!! that's what you did in the Sixties. )

B. Doggy · 18 February 2011, 03:12 AM

I'm personally spying a DJII, but we'll see if they actually come out with the one I want at Basel...

kerrison · 18 February 2011, 03:31 AM

I love my DJ - comfortable, stylish, understated, tough and accurate. A watch for all occassions.

kwcross · 18 February 2011, 03:41 AM

I really like mine! Almost made the mistake of selling it recently, but I am glad that I decided to hang on to it for now.

Randy72379 · 18 February 2011, 03:49 AM

I love my 16014 circa 1982.

kbutler971 · 18 February 2011, 03:53 AM

Here's my 16234, a new addition. Really like this one.
