Gold Rolex if you are a used car salesman or insurance broker.
JLC if you are a dressy person.

Get the DD and throw it on a leather strap.

Tough call. I'm not a fan of vintage Day-Dates unless its a family heirloom. if I'm getting a Day-Date, I want a 6 digit reference. Also, since you have a DJ already, I'd say skip the vintage Day-Date. If you must have one, save up for a six digit reference.

As far as the JLC, it is nice but I prefer the monoface and for me it wouldn't be a daily wearer because of its art deco design. For daily wear, I'd like an automatic watch preferably with lume. I would also want something with a bulletproof movement (i.e., something like the DJ you already have.) Since the JLC is two watches in one I'd be worried about it being more delicate. If you must have a square-faced watch, I personally would prefer the Cartier Tank or Santos.

Good luck!

Another vote for the DD. I do love the Reverso but it doesn't look great on my wrist.
