New addition to the collection

Never considered getting a DJ before since my friend kept telling me its an old dudes watch. I am 29 but really loving this watch its a nice change up from heavy Sub Date i usually wear everyday. Not sure what my friend was talking about but if this is old dudes watch then old dudes rule cuz this watch is awesome and super comfortable. Love jubilee bracelet as well!

Congrats. My first Rolex was a used DJ for my 21st birthday. I don't think it's just for old guys. Enjoy!

Nice watch. The DJ is by far the biggest seller for Rolex and works for all ages.

Defiantly not an old man's watch. Congratulations! Looks good casually with a t shirt or a polo, and looks great with a suit! It's perfect!

The DJ is timeless, it was my first Rolex (SS, white Jubb dial and bracelet)
and I still have it.
I am actually seriously considering adding two new DJs to
my collection/rotation as they are clean, classy and durable!
(next to come is SS Black Sticks on the Oyster followed by
a SS Blue dial (not sure which) on a Jubb)

The DJ goes with anything from ratty jeans to a tux!

I also think for my wrist the 36 mm DJ is just perfect for the kind
of watch it is. I had a DJ II and recently wore a DD II for a while
and unless you have a big wrist the 41 mm just looses the classiness
of the model, now for those with a 8 in + wrist the II is GREAT

I like it and a time-less and tire-less look.

Enjoy in good health!
