The DateJust is "the classic" gentlemans wristwatch. At home anywhere....on the boat, golf course, under a suit at the office, under a Tuxedo at the opera and even with t shirt and sweats.

A strap I think tends to dress the DJ or (OP) up more than a bracelet. Here is my classic Two Tone 14k/SS DJ from 1971:

Why do some people have such a down on things made of 'Plastic' e.g. Plastic crystals on
watches ? N.A.S.A are perfectly happy to use all kinds of plastic ( in it's many forms) on
their spacecraft , a slightly more rigorous test of it's qualities than wearing a vintage Rolex to work. Vas denks du ?

I would use a purpose made polish as tooth paste can be very abrasive in some cases .
Or try on something else first .

The dials of these watches age very well.

The silver colored ones are probably aluminium but what are the gold colored made off ?

i tried using toothpaste on my watch but it didnt do the job, so i bought some metal polisher :D now it looks new but the deep scratches didnt go away but it looks shinier than before

Changing the acrylic crystal is easy if you are careful . The best is to have a press but it also works without as I did .

But if your crystal looks good enough just leave it

By the way : very nice watch, I want the same !!!

That's good to know, I've never used it either. I guess I've been lucky, so far both of my acrylic crystals are still scratch proof. I'm thinking about picking up some polywatch though just in case. FWIW, replacing an acrylic crystal is pretty painless and can be done by a good watchmaker (another bonus of arcylic crystals, cheap to replace ).

i tried the metal polisher on my acrylic i was shocked that it worked too, it removed the small scratches but the deep scratches didnt went away
