DateJust popularity underreported?

I have to agree. I recently purchased my first Rolex (DJ41), and it was the watch I grew up knowing the brand by.

Years ago I had no interest in sports models and owned two DJs, long gone now. In the last few years the Sub got me re-interested in watches. It took me a couple of years more to fall back in love with the DJ, specifically the 41 which l now covet as much as any and believe it to be worthy in any collection or as a one only. Long live the Datejust....

We're here, just severely outnumbered!

Right here!

Cara Barrett of Hodinkee claims the Lady Datejust is the most sold of any Rolex.

I don't think I believe this as it does not pass the gut check. But it's an interesting comment from an expert I respect.

The DJ is my first official Rolex. It will always be a classic and from time to time, I still miss trading it in. It is iconic and that is the first rolex I know. The only reason I traded in my DJs is only because I upgraded to DDs. Otherwise, I would still be wearing my DJs. The only sports watch I like from the Rolex line is the Sub and GMT. People from this forum will hate me for saying this, but I hated the Daytona and did not miss it for a second after trading it in. I bought it when I heard about the hype and how hard it was to find at an AD. I held it for 6 years and probably wore it 30 times in that span.

to add to the small percentage.... metaphor. We are the Pimple on the Elephants Bum!
There, I said it.

I grew up knowing Rolex as DJ and so my dream of owning a Rolex came true in 2016

Here’s mine

I love my 116200 63600 DateJust and my 1503 Date.

I just put on my Date this afternoon for wrist time this week.

I pretty much like only fluted DJ and DD models.
I do have a keen eye for the TT Rootbeer GMT and the Everose Yachtmaster on the rubber strap.

[Gotgolf52]

DJ41 fluted bezel oyster bracelet is a perfect one watch collection.

[Rolextellstime]

Datejust with the fluted besel is the Rolex icon.

I think the Datejust is a great watch , perhaps the 36mm size held it back but the new 41 mm with the upgraded movement is a whoosybob , plus they are usually readily available in most configurations .

Having taken 8 years to track down a 1675 & a 1680 , and having recovered from selling a GMT Master Fat Lady during the GFC for virtually lunch money I'm ready to make a move on a datejust , but not with diamonds on the dial .

Nothing wrong with diamonds on the dial, so long as it's tastefully done. Also nothing wrong with the 36mm size, but then I have skinny wrists and prefer my watches to be as subtle as possible. So much so that I took off the two tone jubilee bracelet on this beauty to make it less ostentatious...

[Chrisfrombyron]

Nice classic !

A DJ was my first Rolex back in the ‘90’s as it was what I grew up coveting. Launched in 1945 it predates nearly all of the professional models and, to me, was the original sports watch. Classic.

[TheGRman]

My TT DJ 16013 is my daily wearer. Classic, can be dressy or a little sporty, and sits perfectly under my shirt cuff. It compliments my tastes for what I desire in a wristwatch. I would however like to read more posts and view more photos of DJ’s... I keep learning so much from all the DJ posts here.

Here's my 2...
