A 41mm DateJust is a good option as well, as it can slip between casual and dressy with ease (especially with the Jubilee bracelet, which I quite like on the DJ).
Biggest difference between the Sub and the DJ is the Sub is unapologetically a sportswatch. Big unidirectional diver's bezel, large bright hour markers and hands, chunky case lugs. Hour markers and lugs got significantly bigger from the five-digit model Sub and the current six-digit models that came after 2010. In many ways, the DateJust is basically what the pre-2010 Submariner Date was in form-factor without the rotating bezel and crown guards. |
Ohhh, thanks for that. Submariner Date is much better for me than sans date as I use that function (or, complication, as we say in the community) all the time.
Hey, I thought in a Jay-Z song he rapped about "rollies that don't tick-tock" or something. I took that to mean Rolexes have more of a sweeping second hand versus one that ticks from second to second. Guess I misunderstood the lyric. Maybe he meant Rolexes are quiet when they tick versus fake Rolexes that are loud?
Also, is there a ladies version of a Submariner? Like the 911 of watches for women? Thinking my wife could get one as well and pass that to our daughter one day.
