Datejust hands... like or dislike?
How do you like the hands on the Datejust?

For example:
- Classic
- Well proportioned
- Outdated
- Design needs refinement

I think they are classic, and well proportioned. Not sure what else you can do with it.

I do like the old dauphine hands though.



If I could pick anything with the modern DJ that I'm not mad about, is the stick markers they are not as pretty as some of the older ones.

The DJ 36mm is so classic I don't think you can really mess with it.

If you dont like them buy a set of aftermarket sub hands from a local watch guy and see how you like a DJ with sub hands

Why yes, to me at least, but times change and people may not like them anymore.

This watch is clearly for the elderly. So for them it probably feels timeless. To a younger buckaroo it looks like it belongs in a museum.

Yeah. It kind of does look like a museum piece. Let's see the rest of your body and I'll suggest a modern Rollie to complement your groove.

That is a sharp looking watch.
Comments like lol's there are immature, rude and uncouth.
His first day as a member here has gone right down the drain as I predict his membership will also.
