Undecided

Hello all! I'm Andrea from Italy and it is my first post in this forum.
I like this forum very much, because I'm a rolex fan

I have a question for all, I want to buy a new rlx 2009 series, but I'm undecide:
- DJ 116234
- Exp I
- 14060M COSC

I've got a 2001 Sub 16610.

Thank you all for support!

From the choice you have given I would select the datejust since you already own a sport model. Welcome to the forum..

Since you have a Sub already, I would opt for the Explorer.

I agree that either the Explorer or DJ would be a nice partner to the Sub you already have.

Here's what I would do...
You already have the date function watch, 16610.
You need something without the date now, get the EXPLORER, its a classic !

Thanks,
Randy

Go for the 116234.

I got one about 8 weeks ago and I am very happy with it.

Im biased towards the 14060M, but as others have said-since you own a Sub I guess I can branch out. I guess...

Good luck though one will catch your eye!!!

I'd suggest the Datejust with a light dial, to give you some contrast with your Sub

EXPLORER, matches the sub perfectly, sporty but still dressy. second choice would be a DJ, but id keep the explorer

I think you answered your own question, EXP sounds like the right watch for you. Although a sport watch, it is very different and much dressier than a 16610.
