Please Show Your SS Datejusts.

I will be purchasing a new SS DJ within the next couple of weeks, and would very much like to see other members' combinations. Seeing watches which are already configured gives me a much better idea of what I like rather than relying soley on a dial in a catalog. Thanks!

My wife's....the SS one is just prior to a service (very recently done) and now it is back to brand new looking....notice the scratch on the crystal....I don't really need to say so but of course my wife wears her watch for absolutely everything like myself...she was worried to begin with as she had broken so many watches in the past.....I assured her she would have to try very hard indeed to break a Rolex......

Hi Faith,

Janet's 179160. WG Romans with a white dial and smooth bezel.

Also available in a 36mmas you can see above. I am thinking about it.

If it was available in a 40mm I'd be wearing it now.

Eddie.

I hope to be as well Taffi. I love the 16220 Engine turned Bezel like Colnago's. Gorgeous watches Sir!

Are you going with men's women's or midsize and what bezel do you like Taffi?

Patrick

Patrick....they're actually both 16030's......silver one from 1986 and the black one from 1988.....both with plexi-crystals...thanks for the compliments.....they are the greatest of the "dress" watches in my opinion...mine have been to hell and back on my wrist and never missed a beat....you cannot go wrong with a DateJust

Patrick

Good questions, Patrick. I have tried on both 26 mm and 31 mm. I have taken others with me and was told both sizes look equally nice, but I find the 31 mm a little bit cumbersome. I am likely to purchase another 26 mm unless I see a 31 mm which blows me away. I currently own a TT DJ with fluted beel and jubilee bracelet, so this time around, am more inclined towards the domed bezel and oyster bracelet. Once again though, nothing is set in stone. For instance, I love the rose art deco dial with the large 3, 6 & 9, but it has no date, and that might bother me after a while.

Eddie,

Janet's watch is a class act, so subtle and tailored. You don't feel the 36 mm is large enough? I think it would look wonderful! Faith

Hey Bill, (If I may) I thought the black was a 220 for sure since it doesn't appear to have (or I cant see ) Tritium markings. Is it the original dial? Curious as I have been obsessing over these details the last several days learning about DJ's. Boy have I been frying my eyes...and brain, but learning a lot. DJ variations and dates of them are staggering.

Yet others might take it as a serious question... This 36mm DJ was announced at Basel this year and is undoubtedly meant for the ladies...

Son, give your 36mm dead horse the eternal rest it needs. If you don't I'm gonna have to spank you in broad daylight and you and I know you ain't gonna like it, so do yourself a big, big favour.

It doesn't take much to appreciate that if 31mm is a little cumbersome then 36mm is out of the question.

Seems to me that you are just trying to be antagonistic.

And you damned well better be sorry. One more instance of this kind of rubbish out of you and I'll have to seriously review the sense of your continued presence on this forum. Just bloomin' try me.
