do you guys feel that the DJ is not for young people? ive been torn between a sub and a DJ for some time now and a great deal on a new DJ has come up and im thinking about buying it, however would a 36mm DJ be seen as a little small a little old for a 26 year old?

chiko323 · 3 August 2011, 10:23 AM

Naa, a DJ is cool on anybody, if your concerned about it go with an Stainless Steel one which would definitely be ok IMO

Oyster1982 · 3 August 2011, 10:25 AM

I am a 26 year old and wear a TT DJ, age doesnt matter its a very comfy watch. If you want to make it more sporty get one with an Oyster band. I love mine;

Bobble · 3 August 2011, 10:26 AM

It's your money, you should do what you want. I really like a smaller watch, but then I've never followed fashion ;-)

Rags · 3 August 2011, 10:26 AM

I don't think so. Go for it...

rolexsweep · 3 August 2011, 10:28 AM

I'm 20... I was thinking about the dj 41mm but I ended up with the gmt c

Onikage · 3 August 2011, 10:37 AM

I'd like one and I'm younger than you :p

matt4hand · 3 August 2011, 10:49 AM

My father got a DJ when her turned 18 from his father.
I think your fine. Buy what you like and tell everyone else to ....That's my MO

Mr. K · 3 August 2011, 10:59 AM

DJ is timeless, go for it. Never too young or two old.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 3 August 2011, 11:13 AM

If you are over 13 - go for it. It will be your watch and who gives a sh$t what others think. Go with your gut.

Dr. Robert · 3 August 2011, 11:19 AM

bah humbug....you are 26!!! (I'd kill to be 26)........get the sub & chase women.

jets · 3 August 2011, 11:26 AM

sub a dub dub

Annan · 3 August 2011, 11:32 AM

The DJ is a classic Rolex model that all ages can wear. As others have said however, go with what you want. Since you are already questioning the DJ I'm assuming you are close to letting a "great deal" drive your final decision for the DJ. Ask yourself: Do I have any hesitations about the Sub? If that answer is no, then the Sub is what you REALLY want. Don't let a "great deal" lead you down a path you may long regret.

slcbbrown · 3 August 2011, 11:41 AM

nope

dddrees · 3 August 2011, 11:43 AM

Age isn't the determining factor. The determining factor is what do you prefer and feel comfortable wearing.

perpetualman88 · 3 August 2011, 11:43 AM

my second rolex at age 17 was a Datejust (purchased it myself)

warren G. · 3 August 2011, 11:45 AM

My first Rolex at the age of 20 was a DJ :

WINNER!!!!!

but, you can chase women wearing a dress watch too... ;)

MortgageGuy · 3 August 2011, 12:49 PM

I for one have been wearing Rolex since I was 21 and have always gone with the sport models. IMO they look better casual and can be worn with dress as well... Just a younger look.

To answer your question, are you too young for a DJ? NO, would be my opinion, would a SS Sub or something of the like look better? IMO, YES!

All of that being said at the end of the day you have to get what you like and will wear and enjoy for years to come, not what I or anyone else thinks... If that is a DJ then a DJ is the watch for you. Good luck and enjoy the looking

HongNinja · 3 August 2011, 01:45 PM

Rollie is a Rollie. It looks good on anybody no matter age, sex, financial class, etc.

Wear it with pride my friend!

glimmer · 3 August 2011, 02:08 PM

I can understand your situation. However, as many others are saying, it really is a classic watch and you can't go wrong...the SS models would look "younger" if that's your concern. People will probably say you have good taste for such a young man.

ManUtd · 3 August 2011, 02:16 PM

Age isn't an issue, it's how you carry yourself. Even a kid at 16 can look good with a DJ.

Newrolexbuyer · 3 August 2011, 02:33 PM

I'm 27 and just bought the DDII in rose gold with the chocolate face and I'm loving it! That being said....I bought a TT Sub C the next week because i love it too! I had a 36mm DD in yellow gold with smooth bezel and it was fantastic. I received tons of compliments and no one ever thought it looked out of place. I use to wear a Breitiling for Bentley Silverstorm 48mm and it just wasn't comfortable. You will love the 36mm DD. Either way your 26 and buying a Rolex...life is good my friend

tripleC · 3 August 2011, 03:13 PM

Funny you would say this I walked in an ad and the sales man said you don't want a dj that's for older folks you want a brietling, well I walked out of there and never looked back. My favorite roll is my dj go for it don't listen to the hype. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1312348371.241663.jpg

sid vicious · 3 August 2011, 03:23 PM

Just get it mate. I went for a sub but the DJ was a close second. Dad got an oyster perpetual so we interchange at times ;)

drdenn · 3 August 2011, 03:51 PM

I'm going to against the grain here and tell you not to just go for it, but to do some serious thinking. I owned two date just models before ultimately going to a sub. That said, i have owned 3 separate subs now, and have never looked back! I just traded my 16610 for an 116610 LN. This should tell you something. Now, I do like the DJ, and wish I would have kept one of them. But, if I could have done it all over, I would have got the Sub 1st. Then, added one of the DJ at a later time. Just more versatile!

speedo · 3 August 2011, 05:56 PM

with so many dial, bracelet and bezel options there is a dj for everyone.
i guess that am ss with dial with arabics is less conservative than a tt champagne dial with romans for example.

The Joker · 4 August 2011, 12:21 AM

Get it if it's a good deal and you like it. I'm 33 and love mine.

It is not too small, it's a dressier, classier watch.

metsengland · 4 August 2011, 12:23 AM

Not at all. All Rolex watches are cool. I'm young and have a 116200. DJ 2 is probably more casual and sporty looking, but 36mm is more classy. A great smart casual, dual purpose watch.

Keeperoftime · 4 August 2011, 12:36 AM

Im 26 and wear Day Dates and have owned 3 DJ. So no.
