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.
I have the Rolex 1601 Datejust (all steel; white gold bezel) from 1978. Was a graduation present. It's a beautiful watch and I still get compliments to this day. Paid $750 new.
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!
This blue sunburst dial is actually better looking than the blue motif because of better legibility and that wonderful dial which is enhanced by the smooth bezel so no flashy shiney in your eyes l, just pure blue goodness
DJ36 is the GOAT. I have the DJ36 (fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet) with the blue-fluted motif dial and it is by far the coolest DJ36 available. the fluted-motif dials are next level.
Congrats on getting that model.....I've was on the waiting list for over a year and a half and never got the call before they were discontinued. The AD in my town said they just didn't see that many of them...at all.
Really enjoyed this review. I have just purchased this exact version, 36m, smooth bezel and the blue dial. I preferred this because i felt it was classic and elegant watch. Your review made me smile.
I agree they’re amazing. I’ve had a couple of these. Currently I have the palm, smooth bezel and oyster. I had the bracelet all brushed and it’s perfection that way. Should come as an option.
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. Rolex has always been good at this. Development, but never at the cost of identity.
I’ve never seen a man look more like he should wear a DateJust. I’ve had a few Rolex watches including DateJusts but never a blue. Doing a PhD at the min so could be my treat when finished
If you're born in the year 1984, you're the same age as I am. I feel it' could be an appropriate gift to myself to celebrate where I am in my career and for turning 40.
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've a had a two-tone DJ (smooth, oyster, champagne dial) that I put in the safe deposit box after its last service 3 year ago...been wearing my Sub-C exclusively. 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 love the smooth bezel because it still pops, makes the watch easier to wear daily and if it dents or scratches you can remove it unlike gold. It’s all steel except for gold indecies so better daily! Cool review
@@erikkinginnycMost people criticizing these watches don’t own Rolex or are upset at the ADs. This configuration is blowing up and people need to see it in person to appreciate it.
That is a beautiful watch and 36mm is perfect, I’m over 6 feet and never thought it looked small, new to your channel and really enjoying it especially since I’m from Long Island
This is the thread I’ve been looking for! I’m also a bigger bloke; why is the 36mm more suitable than the 41mm? It’s a nice watch, but I fear it’s a touch too small for us…
What is your wrist size? I am 6'1" with 20cm / 7.87 inch wrist. Most of the time they have to add a link in order to fit my wrist. Except for my Omega Seamaster 300 which fit me perfectly out of the box.
Thank you for the review, I just put that same watch on my wish list at Rolex today. The only difference is i requested the 18k white gold fluted bezel..
I was thinking of getting a BB54 but after watching this video I am undecided whether to get a BB54 or not. Should I spend more money and get a Rolex DJ?
My first watch that I ever bought was a steel date just with a white dial and roman numerals. Unfortunately, I had to sell it for the money when I was struggling. Never really regretted it, but every once in a while I wish I still had it.
Used to have the 36 mm on the oyster and wife thought it looked too small. I sold it and got a an explorer 40mm. Miss the watch sometimes. Might get the date just again this time on jubilee 40mm.
Needed to hear this. Just yesterday picked up 41 mm Mint green dial, smooth on steel bracelet. Was having 2nd thoughts if should have gone with fluted bezel and jubilee. Was on the list for 2 years for Sub.
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?
@@RModillo No I think pretty average for what it is at 100M. Regarding Nomos- just love that brand and have a a few myself. Beautifully built in house and such a great selection. Thanks for watching.
Great review! Got the Same on the oyster - the Perfect Watch for me. not so big and shiny like my batgirl or daytona, for me one of the Most Perfect Sport and dresswatches! Always a Perfect Match, Like my 114270 EX1 but with more shine
I have been contemplating between the fluted bezel and smooth one on jubilee bracelet. Well, after watching your video, I will go for the smooth bezel. Thank you Erik. :)
Great video and a amazing looking watch. What is your opinion on a jubilee bracelet, smooth bezzle, and black dial. Essentially the same just a different dial I just feel the jubilee bracelet gives it the dressier kind of pop to the watch but then the classic smooth bezzle dims it down a notch where you can wear that to a formal occasion, on casual occasions, etc.
Love the black face as well and feel the Jubilee is one of the best bracelets made. Following is a recent video of that watch in 41: ruclips.net/video/z4sOq-trLDs/видео.htmlsi=b4L4Q6eeugS6t2EG
No not at all. The reason you see that is my editing. There are quick edits that you really cant see except with the seconds hand. I edit out um's and aa's. Thanks for watching and calling that out as others can see as well.
Numerous watches, got a Datejust 3 months ago, and have only worn the DJ bar a couple of evenings that required a dress watch. The only watch as versatile is a Tank.
I love my 36 mm date just with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel with the palm motif dial. Not many out there that you will see. When I’m visiting Florida I leave my Texas Timex (my 2022 submariner) at home. When you see the bus boy and the waitress wearing Subs, then it’s time to wear my palm motif to Florida.
Don't you know you might dig back to this video and see the comment or not, but I love to see this with the oyster flex but rolex official didn't offer oyster flex to datejust or oyster perpetual
@@erikkinginnyc Yeah, I'd love the combination. That's how I love the Tudor Black Bay 54, I only know it when you said it the oyster flex are pricey. Thank you Erik been replying me.
If it has to be a Rolex, I would make the effort to buy one of the sport models. Because for the money of a date just, Omega Aquaterra and zenith defy are better options Imop.
After almost a year of waiting, yesterday I received the email from the Rolex dealer warning me that my dateJust reference has been discontinued😢🤦😩😑😡😠🤬😤
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.
Totally your choice but fluted bezel is more traditional and and as someone recently mentioned a "Grandad Feeling". I like the smooth. Both great but the fluted is definitely more blingy.
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.
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.
Just not feeling it; there are watches in the same style I would take over a Datejust. Also, given it's a top tier piece, you'd think they could do better than some cheap looking plastic box, that looks like it's out of the 90s.
I actually was enjoying the video until you said the watch you just bought and endorsed is for sale. Now im thinking why would i buy this watch when the guy that just bought it is already selling it....?
DJ36 fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet is the only classic timeless example iconic Rolex you can and should buy. All other references are too much mutated from original DNA and no longer make sense to carry the Rolex logo.
Love to have Rolex have all the stock of all their watches but we both know that wont ever happen. This is definitely more accessable. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
Thanks for this Robert. Much appreciated and thanks for watching as always!
I have this watch as Datejust 41 jubilee. I LOVE this watch. I get so many compliments on this watch. Definitely a must have!
Love it as well. Classic!
I've had a number of rolexes over the years, picking up this exact model in silver this weekend. In my opinion it's the best Rolex out there.
Love it. Thanks for watching.
Where did you buy it and do you mind sharing the price?
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.
Good points. Thanks for watching.
Why the oyster shouldn't be as comfortable?
I was thinking about a 36mm black dial, domed on oyster...
What do u think of the Mint Green Dial?
That was my first luxury watch I ever bought in 1993. Exact same configuration, blue face, jubilee bracelet, smooth bezel and stick markers.
Great watch, especially for a first! Thanks for watching.
I have the Rolex 1601 Datejust (all steel; white gold bezel) from 1978. Was a graduation present. It's a beautiful watch and I still get compliments to this day. Paid $750 new.

Yeah,love the blue with most any combo. Thanks for watching.
100% agree with you though I’m still on the fence about a cyclops. As the owner of blue dial 3-6-9 OP version I think I’ve got the perfect watch.😉
That exact model is now shortlisted as my next acquisition, thanks to your review.
Great watch. Thanks for watching.
This blue sunburst dial is actually better looking than the blue motif because of better legibility and that wonderful dial which is enhanced by the smooth bezel so no flashy shiney in your eyes l, just pure blue goodness
Love it as well. Thanks for watching
Amazing watch, one of my favorites! but you have to go for the mint green dial :)
I had the date just chocolate dial with oyster bracelet,but I flipped it 🙈gone one on order again 😊🤫❤️👍🏴
Nice watch and have flipped and regretted. Thanks for watching.
DJ36 is the GOAT. I have the DJ36 (fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet) with the blue-fluted motif dial and it is by far the coolest DJ36 available. the fluted-motif dials are next level.

This was NOT worn in American Psycho. They made it look like he was wearing a Roli, but it wasn't!
@@rolisreefranch Yes, you're right as appears to have been a Seiko. Thanks for watching.
Pure class
Couldn't agree more. Thanks so much for watching.
First self winding chronometer.
@@thebeauhollis Yes, correct, I misspoke. Thanks for watching.
Can’t hear you over the music
I actually was enjoying the video until you said the watch you just bought and endorsed is for sale. Now im thinking why would i buy this watch when the guy that just bought it is already selling it....?
Because he makes a living by selling watches. I guess he own one
It's not a cronograph, it's a chronometer.
Already addressed this but yes, your on the money. Thanks for watching.
The absolute BEST Rolex you can own.
@@latinlabel I like it too. Thanks for watching.
DJ36 fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet is the only classic timeless example iconic Rolex you can and should buy. All other references are too much mutated from original DNA and no longer make sense to carry the Rolex logo.
Yes, that is the original. Thanks for watching.
Two tone is the one
Thanks for watching
How much did he lose buying this watch? He must be down a lot.
@@mappyman8271 Made 100! Thanks for watching.

Yes it is! Thanks for watching.

This watch is not actually an American psycho at least not worn by Christian Bale
Correct. It is in the book only. Rolex wouldn't permit the use of their name in the movie.
It is Christmas, Let them stock, let tthem stock, let them stock.
Love to have Rolex have all the stock of all their watches but we both know that wont ever happen. This is definitely more accessable. Thanks for watching.
