Thanks, he held up the day date bracelet and it hardly had any sag (he held the watch head sideways, allowing it to naturally sag, it didn't)

The jubilee on the DJ is another story. It sags horribly. I put it down to it being a Jubilee bracelet. Not so, it should also not sag. But I wore it and the jubilee bracelet is very light and comfortable, but the bracelet and/or watch move on my wrist. Not a good sign?

The DJ bracelet looks worn and as David had said there is there is corrosion on the case.
I'd pass on that one.

The DD looks good but I would need more pix of the movement, case and bracelet wear (stretch).

Thanks, I'll do that.

Seller did open the DD case, I was not quick enough with the camera, too busy staring

Anyway I am working on another DJ, its a 1601 with Sigma dial, but its on leather strap and its around $2200. Trying to get high res pics from seller

Still too many nice DJs around to bother with corrosion, always check.
