Show Your Vintage Datejust(s)!

Foo2rama

This thread is going to cause me and Foo girl to kill each other. I want a grey dial DJ. She hates fluted bezels and their ilk. She wants me to get a smooth bezel or explorer.

She is watching me type this and just said. " I give you permission to buy a Kermit"

Ok I'll keep her.

Thing with the Datejust is it sneaks up on you.

Somewhere along the way, while collecting Speedmaster's and Submariner's and Explorers I've managed to amass a collection of DJ's and I'm not quite sure how it happened. They're not expensive, the ones 40 years old look just like the ones made today, and they look great dressy or casual so long as you get the right color combo.

What I can say is that every WIS needs at least one dress watch in the collection for that occasional wedding, winter formal, or board meeting and there is nothing better than a Datejust with a fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet. Not something you wear every day, we have tool watches for that of course. But find a DJ that sings to you, make it your special occasion watch you wear 5x a year, you'll understand. Tell the Mrs., they look just as good dressed-down on a strap too, the photo above is as casual as any watch gets.
