Mainly size: Date = 34 mm; DJ = 36 mm. Movement is the same - 3135.

I always thought the Date was for female and the Datejust was for male. I only say because of size, but they made a midsize DJ. What was the point of the Date Model?????

The midsize DJ = 31 mm and can be worn by ladies as well as men with very small wrists!!

It's like asking 'what's the point of the Air King?'. Can't you buy that exact same movement in a non date sub or the Explorer 1?

It's just another model option with a slightly smaller case than the Datejust.

Rolex, as a world wide operation has various models that may make no sense to you as a consumer, such as the 31mm mid size Datejust, but take a trip to Asia and you'll see all kinds of men wearing just that size.

Rolex, with the help of some fashionistas was able to parlay that same size into a desired timekeeping accessory amongst female models, and yet another sales opportunity opens up.

Heck, even the Tudor line has a purpose in the broad scheme of things to generate profits for the watchmaker from Geneva.

One of the really great things about being connected with owning or wanting to own a Rolex watch is the genuinely large variety of watches that can keep us not only happy but connected.

So long as we're all wearing the real McCoy with the Crown/Coronet, then we're all part of the same tribe.
