DJ variations and dates of them are staggering.

You truly have amazing gifts for spotting details....I am very impressed...

Here's the story....been told before.....never mind.....I enjoy story telling....

I had a bad cycling accident a few years back, I fell and the plexi crystal of my black dial DJ took the brunt of the impact with the road surface....it shattered (yes, they do, it isn't only synthetic Saphire that does that....see photo in the link below) damaging the hand set and the dial....the picture you saw earlier in this thread is after it was all fixed up......the new hand set and dial are Luminova not Tritium as you spotted....not authentic as such to the model but I am not worried, the watch will never be for sale (EVER) as it has been through so much with me so it doesn't matter.....my eldest son has had a claim in for this watch for ten years or more and he's only 17.....he knows what it has been through...he has seen me cross a bike race fnish line with my hands held high in triumph and also seen me cross other finish lines physically damaged and very much not triumphant....90% of the time I was wearing that watch (the other 10% was my original silver dial)......they are truly great extremely robust "little" watches....to say I love them is the understatement of the year....

Here's my 116200 - I don't think you can get this exact dial in the ladies' sizes, but you can get the very similar black arab concentric dial - hope this helps

I agree, Martin. The tuxedo dial and super jubilee make a stunning combo.

Dan I was trying to think of the right name

agree it looks great with the jubilee

keschete · 24 July 2009, 03:14 AM

Here is my ladies 26 mm SS Rolex with the black jubilee diamond dial and the jubilee hidden clasp bracelet. I ordered the watch with the wg fluted bezel and then added an aftermarket diamond bezel.

Imran · 24 July 2009, 03:21 AM

I know that you would prefer to see an image.....I would like to sugest a 31mm SS Datejust, Oyster bracelet, White Gold fluted bezel, Black sunburst dial with applied roman numerals. This is an incredible combo and one that my wife and i had to really search out on a trip to Singapore some time back. The sunburst dial in black really makes the watch unique. Elegant in a non bling way. Will try to post picture by tomorrow.
regards, Imran.

Thanks for sharing the story Bill. I LOVE these stories, but even more when it's about a watch that has been someone's main wearer. Very cool story man. Thanks for the compliment, but the photograph was excellent so credit to you there. The lug holes gave it away though..

.

It's funny, as I just found that same watch in a Y ser# today... same everything......and I'm working a trade deal on it right now. This is too cool.

Taffi, I apologize for hijacking but your thread has inspired some interesting conversation. More than this too as I will have to make a new thread based on another reply to it and a Different DJ thread I saw earlier. Whew.....

Alan111 · 24 July 2009, 05:21 AM

I bought the 31mm for my wife.. PERFECT size. Ladies size was way to small.
Her configuration is as follows...

Midsize 31mm SS case
Fluted Bezel
Oyster Bracelet
Silver Jubilee Dial with Diamond Hour Markers

BEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL watch for a lady.

mck22 · 24 July 2009, 05:34 AM

Those are some good looking DJ

boa2 · 24 July 2009, 06:26 AM

Here are a couple shots of my wife's DJ (31mm):

I can see why you love this, particularly with your rings. It's a knockout!

Taffi Abernathy · 24 July 2009, 08:10 AM

Interestingly, I was also thinking about arabic numbers and phoned Rolex NY today. I was referred to someone in sales who told me in a 26 mm, arabic is only available with a concentric dial, and comes in black, silver or blue.
