I think this watch is stunning. Any owners or future owners out there? I'm supposed to go by the AD tomorrow to pick up a GMT, but I'm beginning to think I may buy this one.

Two very different watches...what else is in your stable? Which GMT?

jjnd08 · 29 January 2014, 12:39 AM

Lots of love for the fluted bezel version. I felt the bezel added more dimension to the watch. This is probably my favorite Rolex; especially for the price.

Beauty! I'd buy one if it were 2-3 mm smaller. The case wears kind of big for dressier watch, well, at least on my 7 inch wrist.

That's beautiful. The fluted bezel is sharp. I'm choosing the domed bezel to keep a dressy and sporty look. At least that is the way my mind and style works. The fluted is bad a$$ though. I'll have to take a second peek.

slm9555 · 29 January 2014, 12:55 AM

I absolutely love this watch but the 9 stick is a deal breaker for me

benlee · 29 January 2014, 12:59 AM

IMHO, this is Rolex's most beautiful DJ2, bar none. And a firm favourite in my collection. How can it gets better than this?

I debated the same thing. I went with fluted because I feel it adds a little more "class" to the watch, and it still works as a bit "sporty" too.

Vincent65 · 29 January 2014, 01:15 AM

I like it, but I prefer the GMTs. It's what you prefer that matters to you!

Wrist Candy · 29 January 2014, 01:40 AM

Beautiful watch. I would go with the fluted bezel.

Very cool pic!! Although it's not my style, that's a beautiful watch.

Thank you!

I have said that about multiple watches before, and often changed my mind on them. I really don't think Rolex has a bad looking watch.

When I first became interested in the DJII, that was the dial that I chose (with the fluted bezel); however, the dial is flat (as opposed to gloss) and it didn't quite pop enough for me, so after a month or so I ended up trading it for the Blue/Stick and I couldn't be happier. Regardless of which dial you choose, the DJII is a fantastic watch and one of my all-time favorites.

AK797 · 29 January 2014, 04:25 AM

I prefer the blue or black sticks dial or the GMT.

I agree. Why have the "IX" on the black dial and not on this one?

RRGHOST1 · 29 January 2014, 05:55 AM

Love DJ II's, but I prefer the white/ivory stick dials the best. The blue stick dial is nice too.

The grey is great looking but I'm compelled to completely agree with this.

X2. If they put a roman numeral at the 9 I'd be all over this watch. The stick ruins the dial symmetry for me.

Although the grey dial is nice and more understated. My favorite is the blue stick dial and whenever I see Charles pic, I think about getting one. Wow. Great pic, Charles..

DCgator · 29 January 2014, 03:50 PM

My fave DJ2 dial is the white stick and I have one. TBH I hate the look of that grey dial because of the white stick on 9, just not easy on the (my) eyes and not a good design by Rolex.

mruhland31 · 29 January 2014, 04:02 PM

I think it's amazing. Honestly between the two I personally would go with the GMT. It's really close though. Looks great

jjnd08 · 30 January 2014, 12:42 AM

I love the white stick on the nine. To me, it adds symmetry to the watch since the date function across from it is the same shape. Plus it helps make it easier to tell time when I have to rely on the lume of the watch.

vitalsignsrn · 30 January 2014, 12:48 AM

Thats a really lovely watch. :-)

Are you planning on an all black GMT? If so....this is how you work it....

1. Get the all black GMT that you might have already been planning..

2. Then get the DJ II blue with white sticks (my favourite) or romans with smooth bezel. Voila. I love the fluted bezel but it does cost quite a bit more.

3. Buy from a trusted seller here...and save more money. :-D

LOL LOL Then you have 2 watches... Because....you ARE going to end up with more than one anyway...especially if you hang out here. LOL

SixPak · 30 January 2014, 01:09 AM

I just love the djII in any iterations. Lots of amazing combos of dials/bezels/markers to choose from.
