Dear TRFers,

In order not to have the millionth thread about availability of SS models at ADs, I would like to share the part of my watch collection, that only consists of the Datejust models of Rolex. There is a Day Date 18038 missing, which is currently making a Spa visit...

I hope you enjoy the collection! The upper row are mine, the lower row are my wife’s watches.

I focused on the 5-digit DJs from the 80ies with plexi whereas my wife needs to have sapphire.

Also, one can clearly see, that I am a huge fan of the tapestry dials of that era.

BR

Love the DateJust! Doesn't get enough respect.

aasubo · 2 June 2019, 04:22 AM

Big thanks!

I forgot to state the model numbers:

Mine are a 16000 with glossy black Dial, a 16030 with slate grey tapestry, a 16014 with silver tapestry and a 16013 with champagne tapestry

My wife’s are a 15200 with silver/champagne Dial, a 116234 with black Dial and a 16234 with also black Dial.

Really nice!

nicky77 · 2 June 2019, 05:48 AM

Nice collection, it is nice to see more than just sports models. I am also a fan of the datejust more than the sports watches.

Kiddodoc · 2 June 2019, 05:58 AM

Wow! Never have seen a collection of DJ's only. Nice!

yoniman · 2 June 2019, 06:07 AM

Most reliable able movement too!

Cheers

Oldfellow · 2 June 2019, 06:14 AM

An amazing collection, thank you for sharing with us.
TRF could benefit from more threads like this.

mjr24 · 2 June 2019, 06:15 AM

Love it!

1911 Man · 2 June 2019, 06:24 AM

I'm very impressed. After chasing a Sub for years, I finally picked a used one up a few years ago. A short time later, I swapped it for a brand new 6 digit DJ 36, and never looked back. I hope to add more Rolexes to the collection eventually, and I imagine they will all be DJ 36 variants. I love mine, and your collection is awesome.

I like both ,but getting tired of the type of sports model posts on TRF.

R G · 2 June 2019, 07:11 AM

Lovely collection!

So, what do you think of the modern iterations - both the DJ41 and the new Basel 19 DJ36?

Are you going to add these to the lineup?!
