There was a thread recently asking "Why no Datejust Love?" and in it I suggested the plethora of Datejust faces, metals, bracelets and sizes meant there wasn't a classic look.

But maybe I'm wrong. What do you think are the classic Datejust combinations of size, face, bracelet and metal(s)?

oneillba · 10 April 2008, 04:07 PM

Here is what I consider classic. My TT DJ and a sweet woman by my side.

jmjm · 10 April 2008, 04:18 PM

There are so many "classic looks" it's hard to keep track.

The SS with Silver Roman Dial, Jubilee band, Fluted bezel
The TT with Champaign Stick dial, Jubilee band, Fluted bezel
The SS with White Stick or Roman Dial, Jubilee band, Fluted bezel
The SS with Blue Roman Dial, Jubilee band, Fluted bezel

just to start ......

Brian I can't argue with that look at all especially a great lady by your side.

My personal favourite is the Datejust 1601 model with a black dial.

It is soo sweet:

I consider classic look the TT version of the datejust with the golden colour dial

I agree with Veltisko. The classic design of the DJ and probably the most recognizable too is the TT DJ with champagne dial, fluted bezel, and a jubilee bracelet. The dial also likely has either diamonds, roman numerals, or stick hour markers.

So it's called the champange dial

Thanks a lot for the info i always forget the name

BiG JeEzY · 10 April 2008, 05:17 PM

Whoops I noticed I spelled your name wrong Velitsko in my previous post. My apologies to you my friend.

Yes, the gold dial is called the champagne dial.

JJ Irani · 10 April 2008, 05:18 PM

That's OK Jerome, he's sometimes referred to as "Fostie" as well.

People are always getting his name wrong.

Prince [Allan] has one just like it. In fact, that might be his.

Mine is a little different than some but alright by me.

Many very nice DJ's here on TRF.

MrCowboy99 · 10 April 2008, 10:46 PM

I got the silver dial because if I ever got a DD, it would be a classic DD look with the champagne dial. Both being classic.

Note: When you guys get sick of this story being re-told just say so and I will shut up!

Mort · 11 April 2008, 01:33 AM

My choice would be this combo as the classic look.
