JLC Master Control Date or Rolex DateJust??

At the end of day, i.might choose jlc in this case. Better value i think ...  

Of the two I would have to pick the DJ, simply based on lifestyle, water resistance is a must for my watches, you could even go recreation diving with the DJ if you wanted to. The DJ could be the last watch you ever need to buy.

...  

the Rolex ages more gracefully

But, there are many who feel otherwise...😉

I would probably have said the JLC. No easy answer. Now my answer is Rolex but perhaps with a more plain dial+bezel.

...has been virtually bullet-proof. It is a 'wear it and forget it' watch. Going hiking? Scuba diving? Wedding? Pretty versatile...

I would chose the JLC. Handsome watch that show a good taste of an owner.

Rolexes have a industrial, machine built vibe to them. My understanding is that virtually nothing is done by hand anymore. The JLC might have a little more of the human touch.

I’ve never regretted buying one, utterly reliable and will give years of pleasure.

since I am not a Rolex person and that is a lovely sober JLC. Best Andreas

But change to a MUT moon and then I might choose JLC
