Datejust 41 as a "one watch to rule them all"
I've been an Omegan for years but I have a big birthday coming up & Rolex has been on my mind.
By way of research I've tried a Hulk & a no date sub. I wanted to like them both but neither "spoke" to me - that's the third time a Sub has left me cold. I tried a Polar Bear Explorer & that didn't work for me. I tried a Rootbeer & quite liked it but right out of left field was a Datejust 41, Oyster bracelet & smooth bezel - really liked it!
I guess my question for Datejust owners is this; is it the watch I think it could be - utterly reliable, looks good with everything, smart or casual, doesn't scream "ROLEX" loudly enough to attract muggers in the next county, in short, could it be the "one watch"?
In your own time, go on...

I have the 36mm 116234 and it could certainly be my only watch, looks good with almost anything.

I wonder if it’s generally realised how visually similar the Datejust is to the DayDate . One costs multiples of the other, because it’s gold, but look.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2dcfa0133.jpg
Then the DD, bracelet first.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fdf14047b3.jpg lovely hidden clasp.The drawback is a loss of adjustment, the DJ bracelets are more useable in that sense.

To me, on the wrist, there’s not a lot in it. Quite bold of Rolex to allow the DJ to so closely resemble the DD. After all, same movement too. I see the DJ as rather well priced. Especially for those who can remember what day it is.....
Incidentally, to me, the current DD feels the best built watch I have come across. Pretty flawless .
