      Where did you buy it and do you mind sharing the price?

  • @Art_N_Science
    @Art_N_Science 7 месяцев назад +28

    I have the same one of those. The reason why I bought are: Fluted bezel is too shiny; Explorer and OP are too quiet; 41mm DJ is not in good proportion (Submariner is good for 41mm not DJ); Blue dial is better than black or white dial; Jubilee is comfortable. So this DJ is perfect.

    Just a pure classic! My preference is the fluted bezel with the jubilee, and the blue fluted motif dial if possible too! Otherwise I like the smooth bezel with the oyster bracelet. Gives two totally different looks to the DJ, a dressy/flashy version or a sporty everyday version. But definitely blue dial either way for me!

    I have an old one, a 1971 silver dail model with machined bezel. A classic of course.
    But I’m stunned about the beauty of this blue dail. And I think the smooth bezel makes it look less as a “grandfathers watch”. Still, no one will doubt that it’s a Date Just.

    The Datejust was my one watch collection for 23 years until I sold the last one, which I regret to this day. Now with a collection of 8 watches I wanted to go back to the Datejust a couple years ago but the price was just too high. Went with an Aqua Terra instead, which is great, but I still miss the Datejust. It’s the only Rolex model I’ve ever owned. I had 3 of them over time. As you said, you can get different variations, which I did. Never had a blue one, very sharp.

I had thought about selling the DJ (which I bought new from an AD in 2014) over the years and I'm glad I didn't...for one they are hard to get, and two they are way more expensive now. I just retrieved it from the SD box and decided to wear and enjoy it.

    I have on now a Nomos Club Neomatik date which serves pretty much the same function as this watch (1/3 of the prices!). Literally a 24/7, unless I need to trade up for a more formal event. Although if it were to disappear I'd definitely think about a Datejust 41 as my 24/7. From the beach to the boardroom, most of the time. And the lume is useful on a boat at night.
    I'd prefer smooth bezel, oyster bracelet. Blue dial is fine, but rhodium perhaps even more discreet and versatile. The jubilee doesn't really appeal, and screams "ROLEX" more than I'd want.
    Question-- is the 100m spec the same as everyone else's measure of water resistance, or is Rolex being coy about how strongly built it is?

    My thinking is that you should buy whichever Rolex you like, and don't buy the ones you don't like. Personally, I've always liked the Datejust, in many of its variations. They lose me once they start adding gemstones. That's too flashy for me.

      IMO The fluted is more dressy/flashy. The smooth makes for a better daily and versatile wearer, especially on the jubilee and with a good dial colour choice. Personally I like the blue, or mint green on the smooth/jubilee combo.

    I have a chance of buying the 36 Datejust with the scalloped bezel for 8500 Euro. Keep in mind I will get 19% Back at the Airport in Customs since US Residents aren't subject to the German 19% Value added Tax. So it will be roughly about 7200 Euro or about 7500 US Dollars. I am just afraid that it will be too small on my 7.87(20cm) wrist. I wish the store had a 41 but 36 is the only size they have. All my Omegas and Tag and Breitlings are in the 40 to 42 mm range. I will go back to the store tomorrow and try it on one more time.

    • @erikkinginnyc
      @erikkinginnyc  6 месяцев назад +2

      Sounds like you like 40mm + from your watches and you don't have a small wrist. Probably happier with 41. I know it's tough when one is available from an AD but have to make sure your happy with it.
