Incoming...Back to blue again

[tle156]

Hi guys. I know everyone loves the professional models (so do I) and there is not equivalent love for the Datejust in this forum, but I just want to share my new purchase today. It’s the classic DJ36 116234 with flutted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Long story shorts, I have been into watches for 6 years. At the very 1st day, my favorite brand is Omega and my 1st “nice” watch is the Aqua Terra Skyfall 38.5mm with the gorgeous blue dial. At that time, I had no interest in Rolex at all, not because I couldn’t afford one but because I thought Rolex is for old man with low tech only (Yes, now I know I was wrong and please forgive my 23-year-old me ).
Time went fast, the more I learned about Rolex watches (mainly from this valuable forum, thank you all a lot), the more I love the brand, its simplicity, toughness and design that has passed the test of time. I am lucky enough to have the Explorer 1, Sub and GMT before this crazy lack of professional models now. I still want to add the new Pepsi and Ceramic Daytona to my collection but I don’t see it happens soon since I will NEVER pay a premium to buy a watch. So I think it’s finally the perfect time to add another classic to my collection, the Datejust. I have decided it must be in 36mm, flutted bezel, jubilee bracelet, blue roman dial. And yes, today I am eventually proud to be the owner of this little beauty with the configurations as I expected. Just can’t wait to share with you

This setup looks very very nice. I with they offered this dial with the romans on the DJ41 - but your 36mm looks pretty spot on

Enjoy they are great.

Beautiful piece. G
Smart move to pick up a classic during this sports model crisis of sorts. I have the similar DJ II version with Azzuro blue dial. It’s my favorite. The 36 mm is perfectly sized for your wrist.

Great looking watch! Congratulations!

[VegasMilgauss]

That is a beautiful watch.

I have a DJ41 and Submariner and I actually prefer my Datejust. If I could only keep one of them it would be the DJ41 for sure. Yours looks great on the wrist.

Double post sorry

[brandrea]

Very nice, congratulations

Good to see you come around

[JayHantz]

Very nice DJ, the 36 looks perfectly at home on your wrist!

[watch81]

looks very nice, I have been thinking about 36 mm DJ for a while but not pulled the trigger yet.

[watchwatcher]

Looks like it was made for your wrist...congrats!

[indiana]

The DJ is a go anywhere, do anything watch. Looks terrific!

[mmmmp]

Congratulations, it's a classic. BTW, I enjoyed the background story - you certainly own some nice references. Wear your new DJ in good health.

Unfortunately not. The roulette date wheel only comes with the stick dial, not the roman one.

Beautiful! Congrats! All of my personal favs in a DJ....I love the fluted bezel, blue dial with Romans and the Jubilee bracelet. Enjoy!

[MesaSean]

Beautiful piece! Very classy.
