The oyster bracelet is a fingerprint and scratch magnet. The smooth bezel is constant scratching and fingerprints as well. Go fluted and jubilee bracelet.
IMO, the smooth bezel with oyster bracelet makes the watch look more modern (especially with that dial). For some reason the fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet looks “old”.
I have this exact watch. Bought it to fly under the radar as my gold day date and Daytona attract to much attention. I love the watch but as for flying under the radar its a fail, i get so many nice comments about it.
Perfect in every way!! I own this very watch and love it, not to flashy but very classy. Can be dressed up or looks good with a pair of Jean's and shirt.

I’m starting to finally warm up after all of these years because of the rhodium dial. I think that the fluted bezel would be worth it and a Jubilee bracelet quite stylish.

I would have to agree with you! Dark Rhodium is one of my favorite dials for that reason alone. The color values/hue is dramatic when in natural light vs artificial light. And in low light conditions, the lume shines exceptionally well! - Alex
Rolex should make three sizes: DJ36, DJ38, and DJ41. DJ38 would be perfect, not too small and not too big. The DJ36 is small for a lot of people and the DJ41 is big for a lot of people. A DJ38 would be perfect.
I’m like Goldilocks when it comes to the DJ. Proportions are much better than the DJ2, but overall it’s still just too large for this type of watch. The fluted bezel does a better job of hiding a bezel that’s just too wide. It’s too heavy here with the smooth. I know it’s not even 40mm in reality, but it could stand to be shrunk down just a tad. And the other hand, I find the new DJ36( I think is stunning in terms of proportions) just a tiny bit too small for my 7.5 wrists.
I agree, the ideal size would probably be around 38mm. But if that watch would exist it would probably cannibalise sales of the 36 model (and also the 41 one). Rolex must also be reluctant to move the 36mm size upwards as it is the classic one. Now you have two very distinct sizes, 36 and 41, either very small or very big, depending on what look you're after.
I'm giving this _very_ serious thought. I'm torn between the elegant silver simplicity of this piece v. the busy blue dial of the Omega 311904451 and its triplet of crown + two pushers.

@@caglioso Correct, the case is 39mm. It's 41mm at the widest point, which is the outside surface of the crown screw. Personally, I consider this watch a 39mm since that is what the majority of the watch is. I don't know why I am the only one pointing this out. Be well, and best to you!
904L steel is a free available alloy. Girard Perregaux is using it as well on their Laureato. It's a common "myth" that this type of steel is exclusive to Rolex and made in their own foundry. Only the gold alloys are made in the Rolex foundry, which is still very impressive. But please get the facts straight about the 904L steel 🙂
i looked into buying this exact version awhile back, but, the AD couldnt be bothered to serve me, had a holier than thou attitude and they are doing you a favour by allowing you to purchase
Times are now changing. Corona virus will fix the easy sales all boutique retailers were once having. Less money to flow and tough times for all means decline in luxury items. I dare say in another 6-8months you might be able to negotiate price if the economy keeps tanking.
@Swift Sentry when the government here gives people $750 a week to stay home when they only earned $500 then sooner or later the debt needs to be paid back.
@ekim andersom invest in watches or food and roof over your head. The name luxury item is just that. Luxury. Tough times have yet to hit people. Governments propping up people's lifestyles too.
@Swift Sentry dont doubt you at all, saw it myself too. What is crazy is the selection of who they sell too. The diagu of China. Also stainless steel worth more than gold on secondary market. First sign of stupidity in false value due to "scarcity". Considering current gold prices.
I don't think this would be a good choice for an only watch. Too much high polish for when you're dressing casual. The Oyster Perpetual would be a better choice for versatility, or the steel Yachtmaster if you want the added functionality of a date and a timing bezel.
At this price point this watch just looks boring. Spend little more to get a better bezel and jubilee strap, you've already allocated this kind of money to buy a good watch, why buy the lowest trim.

I'm begining to think this is my favorite Rolex. Simplicity is the best elegance.
This is the Rolex that makes me want a Rolex. It's perfect.
Agree 100%
The oyster bracelet is a fingerprint and scratch magnet. The smooth bezel is constant scratching and fingerprints as well. Go fluted and jubilee bracelet.
@@pwally2714Sorry but don't agree. I have this exact watch and have found it to wear very well.
@@pwally2714maybe not ur time for rolex if u afraid about fingerprint n scratches. just enjoy to wear it without worry 😎👍
The smooth bezel really compliments the rhodium dial.
I agree. I prefer it to the fluted bezel
all the dials .yellow,torqouise,blue,silver, ...
this bezel rocks..
I have the 41mm but with blue dial, stunning !
IMO, the smooth bezel with oyster bracelet makes the watch look more modern (especially with that dial). For some reason the fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet looks “old”.
Old? Or classic and iconic?
Agreee jubilee is old mans watch
Smooth bezel jubilee bracelet is the one
@@preezy1981no, just gauche
Okay after your review I getting this model Rolex as my 1st Rolex watch! 👍🏻
The person I talk to at the Rolex AD close by my home wears one. It is simply beautiful.
I just purchased the Datejust 41 on 01/11/2021. : )
A nice change from the fluted bezel/jubilee old man combo. Looks more modern and suits younger people better.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Couldn't agree more.
smooth bezel and jubilee is the sweet spot...
Qwerty 370 okay boomer

Really nice and pure piece!
The Datejust with the Rhodium dial is just completely knockout.
No matter how many other watches I research, this watch will be my next. There’s just no denying how perfect it is.
"Buy one good watch, this could be your only watch"
*Narrator: he did not buy just one watch*
Yeah this is the Rolex that will add to my collection when I'll find one available
To keep me honest, just bought it!
Should i get the rhodium dial or the blue dial?
I own this watch and I love wearing it everywhere. Not an attention grabber like the flutter dial which is great but you definitely know it's a Rolex
Spot on.
I want to buy this but can you send me the link.

How sensitiv against magnetism is the watch in the daily use. What’s about music boxes in rehearsal rooms and so on? Thanks
Really superb. The design and the colouring of the face is really nice. It even looks nice in the dark !

Elegent classic looking watch , beautiful .
do you have one like this or the blue one?
i want the azurro blue dial with roman numeral indices. a real jaw-dropper.
I just got this 6 days ago but with a Jubilee bracelet. Humble, elegant and big.
Rolex should make three sizes: DJ36, DJ38, and DJ41. DJ38 would be perfect, not too small and not too big. The DJ36 is small for a lot of people and the DJ41 is big for a lot of people. A DJ38 would be perfect.
Is this available with a display back?
No display backs on any Rolex….durability over beauty
0:54 oops no fliplock.
Does the dial really contain rhodium? Anyone know? your answer will be appreciated. Thanks.
i don't think so
It's just the color.

Exactly they should've made it 39mm like most watches
@@DragoonGalaxy7it is 39mm.
What is the difference from this dial to the now called "slate" dial?
Lovely watch. My most recent purchase
I‘ve got one and i love it
I like that watch is it simply
I'm giving this _very_ serious thought. I'm torn between the elegant silver simplicity of this piece v. the busy blue dial of the Omega 311904451 and its triplet of crown + two pushers.
This doesn't compete with the Fluted on Jubilee DJ version, but with the Explorer or the Milgauss. It has sports watch DNA.
With the fluted on jubilee, it looks lika a womens watch
Some people...including me find the fluted bezel too flashy.
@@hugohernandez3651 not saying one is worse than the other, it's just like entirely different watches.
@@Authentik1987 I gave one to my gf in 28mm and it looks fantastic, so good that I want to get the same in 36mm for myself.
;)
Will this model appreciate in value ?
They are already about $2000 over retail on the grey market.
Plain but yet so elegant .Waiting on mines to arrive any day now.
but I heard the datejust 41 is just 39.5mm in diameter? only the previous model (datejust II) was a real 41mm watch..is this true?
Yes
Just bought it yesterday cos it was cheaper by £1000 than the other two on sale in my home town.

Very nice watch I just got it 👍🏻
Would like it in a 39mm but still solid.
it's 41 including the crown, not sure if you've considered that? The case does measure 39mm
Seymour Rivers I’m confused. Rolex states it’s 39mm, even with the crown how are you getting to 41?

Be well, and best to you!
At 3.18 do i see a scratch on the back cover ?
yes. this watch IS pre-owned; you know that, right?
Why does mine have the 30 at the six o'clock position instead of the crown?
Yours might be a prior 2018 version which has the 30 on the six. Later batches got a crown.

Tried it on in Saratoga N.Y. for my upcoming 60 th. Thoroughly unimpressed, too light and just no pop.
well, it's stainless steel, not gold or platinum, so it's only going to have so much weight.
I don't think this would be a good choice for an only watch. Too much high polish for when you're dressing casual. The Oyster Perpetual would be a better choice for versatility, or the steel Yachtmaster if you want the added functionality of a date and a timing bezel.
The Datejust is too flashy, but the Yachtmaster isn't? What?
This is for casual wear and you can easily brush the pcl
i wisb that bezel was rubbed,mat or out of focus like ..
I have the same model but smooth black bezel, great watch but even though I prefer the Submariner )
Same as my rolex cal 1570
Price in INR??
Too much for you mukesh
Could really use a jubilee...
At this price point this watch just looks boring. Spend little more to get a better bezel and jubilee strap, you've already allocated this kind of money to buy a good watch, why buy the lowest trim.
Because some people don't want the bling of the bezel and I for one don't like the Jubilee bracelet?
yeah, and watches like Jaeger LeCoultre Master Controls, are what? Riveting? Yeah, right.
Because not everyone wants to look like a nouveau riche Del Boy. Clearly money doesn’t buy taste
I love the Submariner 😍
So does everyone else. Some of them are actually real.
The bracelet doesnt hold up well when wearing it while typing on your aluminum macbook--
you shouldn't be resting your wrists on any surface when you type. i wear one of my rolex's every day while i work, my clasps are scratchless.
My favorite rolex ;)
The sexiest datejust
Pretty much the consummate Oyster.

Thank You!
yaaaah thats the bezel m talking about ....
That’s a nice Seiko 5 wannabe!
It's the other way round lmao
It’s too “perfect” and has no character. It’s the perfect watch for someone who wants a good watch but isn’t a watch person.
I got rid of my grand Seiko spring drive for that same reason. The Explorer on the other hand makes less sense but could probably be my only watch 🤷🏽
These have Strangely become quite under the radar, which can only be a good thing for the owners
Looks like a Milgauss with a date.
yeah, that's why it looks so good.

White gold? Well you shouldn’t be man handling it the way you are. Wear soft gloves or something.
