Given all of the different configurations of DJs including size, was curious to see if anyone out there is strictly a Datejust collector? If so, what’s your favorite one and why?

I am not strictly a DJ collector. If my wrist could accommodate the 36mm DJ or DD, I would be a 36mm collector because the variations and combinations of these watches is off the hook. I am certain many enthusiasts out there quietly enjoying the DJ.

Love both my 36MM TT and SS DJ's

Well, my only “expensive” watch is my Datejust. My other watches are under $300.

I like it because I think it is timeless, goes great with anything, is lumeless, and can do everything I can do.

I’ve worn it in the sauna, the pool, jogging, working out, riding a bike

If the only Rolex I have is a Datejust, does that make me a Datejust-only collector

Elc · 19 April 2020, 04:17 PM

I have a smooth bezel oyster SS DJ and am considering adding a two tone as well.

Interesting perspective! You mean 36mm is too small or too large?

Are they similar in configuration i.e. fluted bezel and jubilee or different between the tt and ss? I ask because I currently have a ss 116234 fluted bezel, jubilee, sticks, and am looking to add a tt with the same just a different dial. Too similar?

I don’t think two tone is tooo similar.

There are guys on the forum with a sub ln and sub lb

Or Tudor black bays that are just different colors

Different materials and different dials on your watches would be significantly different even though it’s the same model

^^^IMO of course

Interesting! All sport models and no interest in the DJs?

Every true Rolex collector needs at least 1 DJ. Dont fall for the SS sports hype.

Ensign · 19 April 2020, 06:36 PM

That would make for a beautiful collection!

Did you own a 36mm? You’d be surprised how well it looks and wears on almost any wrist.

watchmework · 19 April 2020, 10:33 PM

I'm sure there are...not me although some of the refs are pretty nice.

brandrea · 19 April 2020, 10:35 PM

I’ve owned a couple but they never seem to stick ... beautiful as they are

dafuture · 19 April 2020, 10:41 PM

I recently consolidated my collection down to a Datejust 41 as my daily wearer. I love the versatility, and the rhodium dial makes it stand out in the sea of Subs in NYC. It may not be the choice others would make, but I'm very pleased with my decision.

Had tried many times. Must be my eyes, I just wish it is a tad bigger.

AirPeasant · 19 April 2020, 11:42 PM

I am a strictly datejust collector because I prefer smaller watches and the variety’s awesome. I’d be open to other small rolexes but day dates are too pricey in there modern variants and as are the older sports models with smaller cases and lugs.

I have a 2008 Turn o Graph 116264 jubilee bracelet slate dial, a 2019 116200 jubilee bracelet silver dial and a 2019 126200 oyster bracelet blue dial.

How do you like the 116264? Love that watch. Did you get it before they discontinued them?
