I gave the gold face version to one of my sons. It was an early 80's, plastic crystal. I agree with one of the earlier responders-- this watch says ROLEX about as any. As dressy as it looks, it's still a sports watch and will take enormous abuse. Enjoy it.

I bought my 1st 2 tone datejust used 1 year old from a guy back in 93-tired of the look and had it transformed into a thunderbird-big mistake- I wish I would have never messed with it-I sold it last year and still regret messing with the classic look-

Great looking watch, and good review

I can't agree more on the TT DJ, I've had mine for 28 years and it still looks great and works perfect...
My close friends still can believe I still have the same old Rolex watch all these years...

My father has his ss DJ since 1970's. It's still working perfectly. Back that days, it only cost $20, not sure how much now.

I6-S54B32 · 27 February 2009, 04:59 AM

IMO it's the best in the Rolex lineup, as it doesn't look out of place anywhere really. It can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.

Great review !

cupp260 · 6 August 2009, 12:39 PM

A Datejust is the next Rolex on my list!!

Gerardus · 16 September 2009, 04:45 AM

Great Watch!

ingoodtime · 16 September 2009, 10:45 AM

My wife purchased this pre-owned DJ TT in August and added the diamond bezel. The dial is a Rolex original. Sorry but my photography stinks! In any kind of light, this baby pops with orient colors from the MOP dial and sparkles from the diamonds. It is a very pretty watch.

I have a TT sub with silver serti dial and 40 MM is about as small as I want to wear.

That leaves out the Presidential and DJ for me.

Flash Gordon · 17 September 2009, 02:44 AM

Oh yes! The TT DJ brings back sweet memories for me. I bought mine in 1976 in Singapore when I got promoted to Regional Manager and relocated to Singapore. I remembered that I shopped around for the best discount with a local employee in a weekend. I bought it for about S$1800, US$700. This watch is the most copied by many other watchmakers in the world!

That reminds me to start wearing it again!

Nice review

cody p · 21 September 2009, 05:36 AM

good review! and after reading all the comments - i'd say never sell your very first rolex, as you'll regret it later.

JBat · 24 September 2009, 06:27 AM

I know this review is a few years old, but great job with it. What more can you say about a timepiece than loving it as much 15 years later as the day you bought it? The ultimate testament.

onlinelion · 29 September 2009, 12:50 AM

Nice review, I also like the new TT DJ's and hope they are as timeless as the original.

Alan111 · 30 September 2009, 04:33 AM

Thanks for that review, don't know how I missed that.

Anyways, I love my Datejust also. Here's a pic of mine.

I like the dial. Never seen that before in this colour

Excellent review Roger

I still adore DJ and I've had her since 94

chiscoe · 11 October 2009, 12:57 AM

Awesome watch! That is what I am getting next.

Griever369 · 11 October 2009, 01:31 PM

So how old were you when you got yours? I got my TT DJ when i was 24 and i rarely ever wear it as well as i think it would get the the wrong kind of attention.

idk01 · 11 October 2009, 01:33 PM

I was 24 when I purchased mine :-) wore it daily until I bought my DD then Sub :-) I'm back on the DJ now most days.

Nothing wrong with a Sub, I miss mine

JohnLips · 17 October 2009, 12:51 PM

Nice watch, the TT DJ is what I hope to be my first. Still saving pennys and shopping for a bargain.

onerobert · 23 October 2009, 11:17 AM

My first visit to the site, as I bought my first SS DJ today. 16200 model is being replaced, and the list price was cut by 1/3... I had to get it. I am hoping for years of faithful service, and it just looks brilliant on my wrist.
