For the Datejust lovers...state of my collection!

Dear TRFers,

In order not to have the millionth thread about availability of SS models at ADs, I would like to share the part of my watch collection, that only consists of the Datejust models of Rolex. There is a Day Date 18038 missing, which is currently making a Spa visit...

I hope you enjoy the collection! The upper row are mine, the lower row are my wife’s watches.

I focused on the 5-digit DJs from the 80ies with plexi whereas my wife needs to have sapphire.

Also, one can clearly see, that I am a huge fan of the tapestry dials of that era.

BR

A very welcome post.

Thanks for sharing, the silver/grey stripe motif dial is stunning.

Nice collection, it is nice to see more than just sports models. I am also a fan of the datejust more than the sports watches.

I'm very impressed. After chasing a Sub for years, I finally picked a used one up a few years ago. A short time later, I swapped it for a brand new 6 digit DJ 36, and never looked back. I hope to add more Rolexes to the collection eventually, and I imagine they will all be DJ 36 variants. I love mine, and your collection is awesome.

Dear Hundegger,

Thanks!

that is a very nice watch case from the seller Rainer Schuster from Ingolstadt, Germany.

He sells them globally under his ebay Account:
https://www.ebay.de/usr/finestboxes

He´s a friend of mine and I have already bought 3 different sizes of those boxes. So totally trustworthy even when shipping overseas!

Sizes up to 18 watches possible. And very big, so also a 47mm Panerai on a vintage strap will fit in there.
