What a great idea. 1500 what a huge bang for the buck.

Brenngun · 12 May 2013, 12:09 AM

It's a great idea. I think vintage DJ's are the most undervalued references available today. Just do your homework. Look at a lot of examples i.e. age, dials, with or without bracelet. Find the combination you love and then hunt for one in the best shape at the best price. Good luck and always remember "buy the seller".

go for it

xtra3cats · 12 May 2013, 12:34 AM

Not a bad idea. Besides being small enough to fit under the cuffs it is a lot lighter for all day use than a sports watch on a bracelet.

samsam · 12 May 2013, 04:49 AM

I like it..Lets do it together and get a good deal. Haha..

F.Works · 12 May 2013, 05:05 AM

I think is your choice ,but ¿ why don´t you want to use another diver watch ? You can take all the possibilities .Why not ?

joe100 · 12 May 2013, 05:47 AM

I really dislike the term "beater".

Nycturbovr6 · 12 May 2013, 06:50 AM

That looks beautiful. What is the make of the strap you put on?

bscepter · 12 May 2013, 10:23 AM

i wear my 1601 on a black croc strap, and i think it looks great with a jacket and tie.

Plato · 12 May 2013, 11:23 AM

That's exactly the look I'm going after!

I'm looking for a white dial Datejust or Airking (I would prefer the Airking) head only (to keep the cost down$.

Thanks

btw, i'm not sure i'd call any rolex a 'beater.' you're still talking about a watch that costs four or five figures here!

and in fact i wear my new-ish sub as my daily watch and save my DJ for special occasions because it's older and has an acrylic crystal. though it keeps time spectacularly well for a 42-year-old watch, i must say!

winston · 13 May 2013, 12:46 AM

I used to sleep with my watch on when I owned just one.... since I stopped my wrist has got bigger in diameter and my watches started fitting better...

jctrolex · 13 May 2013, 01:35 AM

I have been thinking of doing that with my TT Date myself

sea-dweller · 13 May 2013, 01:38 AM

That would be fine!

FNFZ4 · 13 May 2013, 01:44 AM

hello. an old datejust 16220 might be perfect for you if you are looking for a 36mm

Soly20 · 13 May 2013, 03:14 AM

Sounds good.

I just can't find it though. It seems this will be a long search.

mjclark32 · 30 May 2013, 03:38 AM

Go for it

andromeda160 · 30 May 2013, 03:57 AM

i'm doing the same thing, but since I was skipping on the band, decided to go with 18kt

RolexPete · 29 August 2013, 04:25 AM

Looking through older posts and was wondering if the OP ever found a 16220? I just picked one up with a jubilee. Gray Buckley dial. Pics to follow.

ltmgeller · 29 August 2013, 05:29 AM

Get some

motoikkyu · 29 August 2013, 05:42 AM

Don't overlook the 6424 on a strap, makes a great daily/office wear kind of watch. Very flat case and no lug holes! In nice shape, frequently under $1200. 'Course, you gotta wind it...
