Rolex DJ 36 > 41โ€ฆRight?!

For some reason I can only do the Datejust in 36mm with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. The dial can vary (although this Wimbledon dial is nice!)...

Great watch and fantastic strap pairing!ย

I guess the larger polished surface area on the oyster looks off to me. It also always looks really scratched up when I see people wearing them. The jubilee hides scratches well. Iโ€™m doing a terrible job of explaining this ๐Ÿ˜…

the lawn thing ๐Ÿ˜‚

yea, something about the proportions are slightly odd to me on the 41. The 36 just looks so right!

Ahhh yesโ€ฆI can totally see myself liking it more on the back of, letโ€™s say the sbgy007. Iโ€˜m with ya!ย

Dandy here! Hmm my guess is he just slapped a regular production watch with Roman numerals on a bracelet, made it a tiny bit bigger and said โ€œuse this on your flightโ€ย

Some people could care less about accuracy, but Iโ€™m a sucker for it. I used to keep track of the accuracy of my watches daily and it always disappoint me when it wasnโ€™t spot on. With spring drive Iโ€™m never sad ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Might be in the minority here, but I miss the power reserve indicator on the front. It was very helpful! Itโ€™s harder to view the indicator powering up as you wind the crown from the back. Plus, I like asymmetrical dials.ย 

commented on Am I the one who's insane? ยท

@Omeganut Yup, youโ€™re insane! Haha I kid! Nothing wrong with not liking a watch, hype or no hype. I noticed that I tend to like all the cons people mention about the watch. I love the deeply textured dial and the bling factor. I also enjoy this movement more than the newer spring drive option. Spring drive is great, but the OG white birchโ€™s is a work of art! I was iffy about the wider bracelet, but I actually like it a lot now. Very comfortable. I like what I like without thinking too much about what the others say. Awards donโ€™t matter much to me either. Do you dude!ย
