Just placed a TT DJ 2 with Green Roman Numerals on layaway. All in all a great looking watch.

This is my new little friend. Received yesterday for my 50th, from my MUCH better half. I love it but am still reconciling that this could have been a LOT of power tools.

Here's a picture of my DJ --22 yrs old and still running great. This one has the Champagne tapistry dial --I think this is pretty rare.

My dad had an original datejust..and it was his moment of solace when he would just
watch the hands sweep--with precision- and this would bring some sense and balance back into his day... |

It is funny to read this. I recently acquired my Submariner and there are times during the day (when I am wearing it) that I will stare at the sweep second hand and marvel as time seems to pass seamlessly. Glad to hear I am not the only one. Then I realize that I have work to do and move on.

I want to buy a DJ with stick type dial but cant decide which to go for, I definitely want a stick dial but cant decide between Blue, the black or the gold face, I also cant decide between the two tone and the stainless steel straps...which is the nicest...so hard to say...
Knowing which might hold its value better might help me decide... I have seen the DJII but I much dont like the wider hour markers, I want stick type hour markers but the ones on the DJII I have seen look a bit big compared to the more elegant stick markers on the DJ... I presume a DJII would hold its value better as its a new model but do they cost a vast amount more than a normal DJ ? I keep looking at a SS datejust with smooth bezel and blue or black stick dial but I cant decide... they are both about £2000 and I wont get chance to see one in the flesh as I only have access to mail order ones and we dont have a Rolex dealer near us... They seem a low price though at about £2000 used for SS or TT with Blue or Black stick dial... I was wondering how much they are new as well (the DJ and the DJII) I have searched for ages on the net but cant find any info on new prices here in the UK... I might even treat myself to a new one if I can decide which is going to be the best bet long term. |

You purchase what feels best and is most appealing to you... for You.!
I was a bit torn between an 'older' 16233 vs a 'newer' 116233..but I wanted the Jubilee w/hidden clasp.. So I searched until I found the 'classic' of the line.. for that style. . It all is up to you.. and what feels best for you and your tastes...!

I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong place, thread, etc. I have a question, and wondered if you guys could help me? I just purchased a DJ 2008 model with an aftermarket MOP dial. Original silver stick dial included. I am 99% sure it is authentic but I can't see the crown etching at the six marker with a magnifier, should I be able to?
BTW....all your pictures are AWESOME! I am a lady and bought the 36mm size, love big watches! Jubilee bracelet. I had a local jeweler look at it and he said it looked good but the only authorized dealer here said they wouldn't authenticate it, they send theirs to Dallas. TIA! |

..Lovely DJ there.. Congrats...
I believe I read that if you take an LED flashlight and shine it on an angle, fairly flat angle, it will appear...with the aid of a magnifier/8x lupe. ..and based on your pic..I would say its authentic..with the rehaut engraving and I can just about make out your serial # @ the 6 .

Jatco, Thank you SO very much! You have set my mind at ease. You can't be too careful with all the replica's out there. My sis just bought a Cartier Roadster for her husband and found it was fake!

..You're very welcome.. I also posted that in the other post.. But as someone mentioned there, did your DJ come with box and papers..?
And so true, re replicas.. I have one as well.. (but I knew is was..and that was about 20yrs ago...LOL..)

/\ ...I'd say...!
So #'s on the certificate should match whats on your watch/dial.. ie the serial # on the rehaut vs what your papers show...! --- That will set you at ease!!

Im no expert on all the models etc of the Rolex line, but the 36mm is Not the typical woman's model..tho many women wear 36mm's ... Steel and YG are a norm..as is the futed bezel.. Champage dial with diamonds could be 'custom' ..but may be a production model ?!? - but with a Oyster.?? - more than likely a TT Jubilee... . The diff between an Oyster and Presidential bracelet is significant... Have you viewed the Official Rolex site to view their models..? . http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watches/datejust
