Just curious about how popular these watches are.

As for myself I have a classic LV. :) But not an owner of DJ

Tunacan26 · 1 June 2011, 08:00 AM

Ok....

glimmer · 1 June 2011, 08:22 AM

Used to own one at one time or another. I think the DJ is still more popular...

Grumpy Badger · 1 June 2011, 08:42 AM

On here I think the sub will be by far the most popular.

Among non-WIS I suspect it would be the DJ... But they won't be voting on here!

Art 1 · 1 June 2011, 08:51 AM

LV Sub and a TT Sub. Can't see me every buying a DJ.

Grey.Coupe · 1 June 2011, 08:57 AM

Owned both over the years. Now have two subs and no DJ.

Dr. Robert · 1 June 2011, 08:59 AM

A Rolex submariner (any), a Rolex datejust (any) & a Casio (any) are, IMHO,
a perfect trio as a base for a collection.

Fiery · 1 June 2011, 09:19 AM

I own a Sub, and plan to add a DJ II. There was no such option, so I've voted for #1

bobg · 1 June 2011, 09:33 AM

DJ, DJ, SUB, DJ, then DJ. Love um.

egzbuen · 1 June 2011, 09:46 AM

Im fairly certain they are both on top of the list of popular rolexs

mrbill2mrbill2 · 1 June 2011, 09:53 AM

Both are excellent watches. I prefer sports models so I have a Sub.

jay_man2 · 1 June 2011, 10:32 AM

I got my Datejust in 1987, TT white dial with stick markers. I got my Sub Saturday, TT blue dial and bezel. Both are classics.

mocheen · 1 June 2011, 10:33 AM

My wife ought the Datejust for me back in 2000. I picked up the Submariner LV last month.

stockae92 · 1 June 2011, 10:46 AM

sports Rolex for me :)

chicfarmer1 · 1 June 2011, 10:57 AM

Of course, this kind of poll virtually entirely excludes the women's buying market, which is not insignificant. And among women, the DJ dominates by a very large proportion (I think).

The French Dude · 1 June 2011, 11:01 AM

I have none, but planning to get both !!!

Paracentesis · 1 June 2011, 11:04 AM

16610 & 1680. Never thought too much about the DJ, until I saw Doc's beautiful vintage gold one on black croc

, and then this great dial:

Totally agree..1 more to go...

Warnsboy · 1 June 2011, 01:09 PM

My DJ was my first and still anchors my small collection. I have never found a rational reason to flip it. The DJ and my EXPII are my favorites on the wrist for feel and daily wear.

Me too. Both sentences.

Best,

Luxe Time · 1 June 2011, 01:56 PM

The DJ never cut it for me- too small on the wrist, almost sloppy feeling compared to the Sub! I know many enjoy the classic style but they just don't work for me. The Sub on the other hand is one I always go back to. Love it for many reasons.

watchf · 1 June 2011, 03:57 PM

I thought the DJ and sub are two of the most popular models in the lineup. I have both but in modern current models, a subc and the DJ II.

roleyrolz · 1 June 2011, 04:08 PM

I thought that the Sub in any of it's forms over the years was the best selling Rolex. It's the best known Rolex. Or at least I thought

The GMT Master · 1 June 2011, 04:41 PM

Datejusts in all their various forms probably make up around half of all Rolex sales. More ladies ones than gents ones are sold (as there aren't any ladies sports watches, barring the Yacht-Master), although the gents one still sells in good numbers. Certainly a lot get sold in TT form, for many people, that's their idea of a classic Rolex

speedo · 1 June 2011, 05:45 PM

have and love both

hnltime · 1 June 2011, 08:34 PM

sub!

xjeeunitx · 1 June 2011, 09:07 PM

I have owned both. I would have to go with the Sub.

If I get in my 40s, I'd rather go for the DayDate instead of the DateJust.

I don't see myself getting anything smaller than a 40mm for a long period of time... and the new 41mm DJ looks too big. Maybe, it's because I'm used to seeing the 36mm DJ. It just doesn't look proportionate IMHO...

TimeOnHand · 1 June 2011, 09:59 PM

I have a SD and my GF wears a SUB Date... I have always loved the look and size of the DJ... I do plan to get one eventually!

yemenmocha · 2 June 2011, 12:06 AM

Both are so common... think I see more Subs out there, however.

Phew · 2 June 2011, 02:20 AM

I have a GMT II and planning for a DJ. There are some funky dials for the DJ, so it's rather not a traditional watch only. I love to have the option to change dials on a DJ some day for a total makeover.

A new Rolex for just $400!
