One legendary piece, very visible on many watch lovers' wrist but often neglected and not talked much about and noticed them missing in many of the avid collectors group shots.
It is undoubtedly one the best selling model in the Rolex line ups. So.. why?
Here are some wrist shots of my own white dial Datejust. Enjoy!

one of the watch that i would like to owned. ... saw one at RM17.8K
2008 model :Startled:
people taste changed to bigger watches nowadays
36mm consider a small watch... i like it on leather straps..

-
I have a 36mm date just... hardly any wrist time because it is now too small

Nice watch,i have one 16013 from 70's.

loving the dial :Cheers:

No doubt...This is a legendary piece looks stunning.

very nice watch ;)

Can't go wrong with a datejust...not appreciated enough with all the big 45mm watches now in trend.

Agree, datejust is simply a timeless classic and i'm glad that i have one of these classic Rolex.
-
Nice watch. Love my 1973 datejust 1603
-
I own one datejust 1601 bought from my cousin in law in 1992 for RM750 need repair and repair again in 2009 now so far so good.
Keeping chronometer timing +/- 3 seconds.
-
Indeed. I have one of them and its an understated time piece. Real classic look, Alas, wrist time for it is very little now due to other watches but will always wear it a few times a month.

The DJ is always the de-facto dress watch with its fluted bezel and classic dial. Had the pleasure of owning a vintage from the 70s (and it just kept on ticking), and current-period ones with the better bracelet construction. I would opine that it has the gentleman 36mm size, which was just right. Leave the up-sized cases to the sports watches, just keep the 36mm DJ and 40mm DD line-up clean and classic, Rolex :thumbsup:
-
I've tried DJ 36mm two tone, like the design but can't seem to pull the trigger because it's just too small for today's standard. The current 41mm is definitely would be one of my collection one day.
-
I think the rolex datejust is the perfect size as it has a beefy lug to lug unlike some vintage 34-36mm dress watches.
The datejust was designed as the ultimate dress watch and all rounder watch. It is very versatile and I couldn't be more happy with a pie-pan.
Also, I think the time of large watches are over. It's a fashion trend which I think needs to die. Ppl should appreciate more minute movements and watches.
The only watch that should be larger than 36mm is divers and fliegers IMO.

I am a big time DJ fan. It has been the face of Rolex for so many years and I am loving them till today! (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170714/8abd71cae55d6e072734ffad093b6b55.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170714/411424fb52cff5916ebc224134940282.jpg)

Wow great to see so many datejust enthusiasts! Im not alone . Happened to check out the datejust 2, I think it looks too huge for its style. Disporportioned.
Well, that is just me though.

Morning All,
I am a fan of the DJ. The DJ 2 in my opinion is just a little big. I guess Rolex had to cater to the market looking for bigger dress watches. For me the 34 to 36 mm DJ/ 6694/ 1500 size is a good dress watch size.
Having said that, I wouldn't mine a DJ with Diamonds at 39 to 41 mm...hhe...
Hv a good work week all!

Never an old man watch. After all the fancy huge watches. This feels most comfortable and subtle on wrist. A must have in the collection when you feel overwhelmed at times
Wear in good health! Awesome dial.

I think with the Datejust, youngsters will be like ewwww.... Ah Pek style... (I know I did)
Then fast forward a decade... suddenly the Datejust will start to look classy.
Dig deeper... then it will all make sense...

I believe that this is true for all Rolex watches. The younger ones will go like "yucks" or "cheh"...Rolex. I can buy many more "better" watches with that money. And then foolishly goes ahead and buys a different brand. Only to regret it like crazy and then eventually go back to Rolex ten years down the road. My own experience la...as for the DJ? It is the all time quintessential watch that has not gone our of style for a distinguished gentleman. Classic, durable, tough and timeless...

Very true.
Particularly for the infamous cyclop on Rolex, that's the instant perception by many youngsters Rolex is meant for old folks . But I think the truth is that Rolex has foresight.
My Hyperopia develops unknowingly earlier at 40yo. I find my Rolex is the most comfortable and easy to read and wear watches nowadays.

Cyclops, ok I still prefer the sub than the sub c keke

I hv a Sub but I guess after I crossed the 40 year mark, the DJ just ages with me better. Agreed on the need for the cyclops and how useful it is. Old guys like me are blind.

At first glance at photo, both baton or Roman look the same. But comparing both side by side on my wrist, then Roman looks better.
By the way, Yeah! Another a pek cyclop watch for me. :Dancing_banana:

I was 28 when I purchased the DD. I don’t think it is ah pek watch. It is classy but doesn’t mean it is ah pek. I am a big fan of DJ and DD.

I wish I started at 28. By now I would have a larger collection...
Now I am only slowly collecting..

Is iconic Rolex watch. Great looking watch. Never feel old as timeless design.

How did you manage to find a 19mm nato strap ? :o
-
i have a 1601 datejust jubilee bracelet, but no idea how to resize it :(
-
i have a datejust 41, rhodium, index dial but will get a datejust 2 blue dial, index. it is beautiful and definitely a legendary watch. the submariner, imho, is such a common design but the fluted bezel and sundials? no way!
-
I prefer the explorer 1.. classic look
-
prefer submariner
-
36 is a bit small for me.... :thumbsup:
-
Datejust my favorite too. I think they are reliable watch which can wear everywhere and anytime :)

I agree. Datejust and Airking are a little underrrated.
-
Rolex has dominated the design scene for some time. Datejust is just one of it's proud ones.
-
I keep finding excuses to look at the time :thumbsup:
-
A very versatile watch and with the 41mm case size makes it very desirable.

“Stardust” effects on my Datejust 16014.

This is nice...in dilemma now whether should I go for this or explorer II polar white next :D

I own a DJ 36 too... was my dream watch until I bought it. Little time on my wrist now due to small size.

the blue dial 36 DJ just looks fabulous on a lady's wrist

Datejust is my next rolex to get
