I loved it in 1987 when I bought it and loved it as it got a few nicks, dings and bracelet strech over the years. I still love it, especially when it returned home after being refurbished at the RSC in PA in November '09, where it received a new dial, hands and bracelet . . .

I really like it but I always wanted a tt DJ, so I bought a real clean used one here this summer. The sub has a hard time finding my wrist now. My only dilemma is whether to leave the original white dial on or put a champagne dial on? The white dial is so readable but I like the traditional champagne. Any opinions?

DATEJUST, a true classic. Here's my '93 16234.

Never actually considered putting my DJ on a strap before, but after looking at a couple others posted I might have to consider trying it sometime.

I absolutely love my '78 16013 DJ and it won't be too much longer before it's considered vintage

Sixxgrand1 · 2 January 2011, 08:25 AM

It was my first Rolex in 1985. I saved for it for six months. It was a wonderful experience. I wore it through everything for 9 years. I miss it. Wish I would have kept it. Iconic I think. Enjoy.

axjimenez · 2 January 2011, 08:33 AM

Mine is for service! One of my all time favorite watches is the datejust and is a great change up when you wear sports watches daily.

I see a lot of older brushed lug Datejusts on this thread, my favorite. Here's mine:

the only way you can get a original datejust with a strap is if you buy a 18k gold watch.

Thanks, I like it a lot too. I actually just got a black gloss finish croc strap for it from the wife for Christmas. Now I have two options, casual (brown croc) and formal (black croc).

pz93c · 5 January 2011, 03:56 AM

Mine from 1968.

Jfscars48 · 5 January 2011, 09:20 AM

I have owned several Subs,GMT's over the last 40 years. Up until 2 months ago a GMT 2 has been my favorite. I recently bought a nice used 2 tone DJ that I like more than any other Rolex I have owned. I like it so much I just bought an older SS with jubilee band.

flathead59 · 5 January 2011, 09:46 AM

Just got the 1603 back from the AD, they don't make 'em like that anymore!!

weasel642001 · 5 January 2011, 09:59 AM

By far my smallest watch, but still one of my favorites.

gglovep20 · 10 January 2011, 12:27 PM

i love mine!

duckdown · 10 January 2011, 12:47 PM

I really love the look of them, I'm fighting with myself on which model to buy as my first Rolex ever.. Submariner or Datejust... Datejust 2 looks nice too! I don't know what to do :/

What do new in box DJ2's retail for in Canada I wonder?
