I enjoyed your review, thanks!! I had the pleasure of beating up a 16013 for nearly 30 years! I still get to visit it when I see my daughter - she's in charge for the next 30 years!

A great review of a great watch, I love my DJ41 and my Sub41, just a pair of classic watches. Unlike the watch in your review mine are destined to get most of their wear from my kids as I came Rolex later in my life.
Such a great look these older Rolex watches, maybe better than their modern relatives, or maybe a modern Rolex just hasn’t had the time to mellow into old age. I hope your friend gets many more years of wear from this DateJust.

The bracelet stretch has to be addressed. Other than that all those dings and scratches just give it more character. They are his father's scratches.

Love this review, having just bought my first DJ41. The review model is my birth year watch too!

Hi by how much does the stretch affect the value of the watch? For eg. If the value is $5k how would the stretch affect this figure?

It's very tricky problem because there aren't many watchsmiths that can fix it. Honest answer: I have no idea. PS: Changing the bracelet to star isn't an option as the Jubilee bracelet is so essential for this particular model, imho.

Klokkeland in Norway fixes the Rolex bracelet stretching problems. Pretty much the only option I've come up with.
