Incoming!



DJ 36 - Ref. 116234. My first non-professional model; so smitten with this one!

Congrats! Good looking choice. It took me awhile to get on board with a DJ after building a nice sports collection and it instantly became a very favorite of all.

Congrats! How does the 36 feel? Small in comparison to your sport pieces?

36 feels perfect for the DJ. With the flutes bezel, it wears bigger than 36 mm. Wrist presence is great and seems seamless with my 40 mm sport professionals.

So cool. I’ve always liked the 36 DJ but every time I try it on, I second guess it. If you get a chance, send a side-by-side wrist shot with a sport piece and the DJ. Thanks!

Great choice!! Love mine, in fact it opened my eyes up to more 36mm models like the OP and Explorer 1.

Congrats, I would have chosen the same reff if I was looking for a DJ myself.
