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.

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...
Exactly what happened with me

Thought the Roman in 18k WG is more classy ?

I like DJ in white or silver dial with smooth bracelet and oyster bracelet combo ,

What's your preference?

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.
