Do you find that the smooth bezel scratches easily? I love the look of it but was worried about scratches vs fluted bezel

This is my first rolex. Rhodium with diamond markers, fluted bezel, and jubilee band.

Perfect combination in my eyes! But I love seeing the different possibilities.

Can I have more than one favorite DJ? here are only a small few in my DJ collection .. 116233, 16013 being protected by Diesel the Doberman, and one of my 16233's which my dad wore daily until he died .. Then there is a pic of my 16233 Tapestry and my white arabic jubilee dial, and a pic of me wearing my 16013 Tapestry as well as a pic of it in it's green box, and a pic of me wearing my 1505 TT "date" which matches my grandmother's and mom's TT ladies date .. My 1505 date and grandma's 6917 date were both "born" the same year

The DJ is the greatest watch in Rolex's Oyster Perpetual lineup.

Oh my I LOVE that 1630!!!! .. I really want one of those .. I saw one for sale about a year ago for 7,200 and I offered 5,000 and the guy got offended .. The
OQ is a great watch, but the 1630 is better because it has the OQ case and bracelet but the self winding mechanical self winding movement

Man these DJ41's are seriously gorgeous. But I have to rep my DJ 36, silver romans with super jubilee!

My DJ2 has got to be my favourite Datejust, but the entire DJ lineup in all it’s guises makes for a very favourable watch.

TT DJ 36 Champagne, batons dial, fluted with jubilee. Also SS with black or silver dial are very nice.

I don’t own this any longer but if it was 40 mm rather than 36 mm, I’d still have it. Now I’m eyeing a DJ 41 to replace it...

Here’s my 3 DJ 41s
I’d say the rose gold chocolate dial is my favourite for now but I’m wondering if I should get a jubilee bracelet for it

YES!!! The RG 41 looks incredible on the jubilee. A 126334 is 9,450 w/ jubilee and a 126331 is 13,050 w/ jubilee. A SS jubilee bracelet is about $2k or more so adding that to the difference would put it around 5600. Possibly a little more due to it being RG. These bracelets are expensive fuckers! Would you want to keep the Oyster as well or trade for the jubilee?

Where did you find the end links for the straps? Did you have to buy the straps with the end links already attached, or were you able to purchase the end links and then take them to someone to have them attached to the straps.

I would like to get a 116203 with a diamond dial ( perhaps a white MOP) and oyster bracelet or a 116201 on the oyster bracelet with a black MOP diamond dial

You have a champagne tapestry just like mine .. our tapestries could be triplets

I love the slate dial and green roman on your big DJ that is a beautiful watch .. I wish Rolex made a slate dial green roam numerals for the 116233 .. That would totally please my heart

My 160133 from 1988. As it appears, it is virtually flawless.

They just fit up against the case, strap goes on normally;

I really do like the new DJ models. My favorite would have to be the 41mm smooth, black dial on jubilee bracelet.
