For the Datejust lovers...state of my collection!

Dear TRFers,

In order not to have the millionth thread about availability of SS models at ADs, I would like to share the part of my watch collection, that only consists of the Datejust models of Rolex. There is a Day Date 18038 missing, which is currently making a Spa visit...

I hope you enjoy the collection! The upper row are mine, the lower row are my wife’s watches.

I focused on the 5-digit DJs from the 80ies with plexi whereas my wife needs to have sapphire.

Also, one can clearly see, that I am a huge fan of the tapestry dials of that era.

BR

A very welcome post.

Thanks for sharing, the silver/grey stripe motif dial is stunning.

Nice collection, it is nice to see more than just sports models. I am also a fan of the datejust more than the sports watches.

An amazing collection, thank you for sharing with us.
TRF could benefit from more threads like this.

I'm very impressed. After chasing a Sub for years, I finally picked a used one up a few years ago. A short time later, I swapped it for a brand new 6 digit DJ 36, and never looked back. I hope to add more Rolexes to the collection eventually, and I imagine they will all be DJ 36 variants. I love mine, and your collection is awesome.

Lovely collection!

So, what do you think of the modern iterations - both the DJ41 and the new Basel 19 DJ36?

Are you going to add these to the lineup?!
