There’s a good reason the DJ is the most popular Rolex reference

It's the most timeless watch of all time imo. It's like a good pair of jeans.

I think my watch finally found one of its ancestors! Looks like mine is the younger version of yours

Thanks
Trying to decide on a Datejust model. Think I'm closer to making up my mind.

I just picked up a DJ41. I intend it to be MY watch. I have others, but I imagine this will be just as beautiful and rugged and capable in 30 years, just as yours is. Great watch!

Not a datejust, but similar spirit. Love it to bits.

Comfortable and never out of place.

That's what I love about these vintage DJs. Can wear them to a wedding with a suit and tie and can wear them shirtless at the beach.

Too bad the white stick dial is not available on the current SS 36mm DJ. It looks super.

Love the Datejust. My 36mm white dial, Roman on oyster is my favorite out of my collection. Purchased at a Rolex AD in 1998. Simplicity at its best.

Enjoy!

1968 1603...still beautiful after all these years. :)
Couldn't agree more
