I’ve had my eye on this watch for quite some time and I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I found a brand new one (Oct 2018 warranty card but unworn) for <$7k and it’s a full kit.

I was recently talking about how awesome the new 3235 Rolex movement is (which you get in the new DJ36/41, YM40, etc.), but there was something charming to me about the old dial (railroad track w/ Roman numerals), the chunky case (I have larger wrists), and the hidden jubilee clasp (lacks Easylink but hides scratches much better; also no longer available). The price increase for the new model also made my stomach churn a bit, so for nearly $2k less I’m pretty happy with this score.

I also like how it’s a truly iconic design in the classic size with the classic silver dial. I already have black and gray and white dial watches, so the silver is a nice little variation. We’ll see how the 36mm on jubilee feels and looks on the wrist, but either way I think it was a pretty safe buy.

I’ll post some live pics once she shows up in the mail. Anyone else have a 36mm DJ in the collection???

Thanks!

And good point about the Subs! Lots of really good stuff out there when it comes to divers.

Me recreating the Instagram photo I originally posted. I really enjoy the classic 36mm size, and this watch will go with anything.

How much? Warranty left?

Davidsw has the same exact watch (his has stickers though) for over a thousand more...

Thought I’d share a photo comparing these two beauties. So similar, yet so different. In comparison, the OP39 definitely puts out a way more casual vibe than I originally realized.

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?
