Great Watch
It truly is a great watch. I noticed you said you had to either wear a watch with a rubber strap or wait until you get to the office to put a watch on.
You might, however, be able to have the best of both worlds with any watch you own.
Rolex does have a very specific design quality. The clean lines, the polished metal, the shine. But sometimes, when you own the perfect Rolex, wearing the watch all year round is tempting. For a casual event, that perfect watch might be a little out of place.

third-party parts can be a risk, but I decided to try out rubber watch straps from RubberB. Maybe this could be another solution?

Thanks for this refreshing post, John.
I find it a bit too big, and prefer the former version, but yes you're right, the DJ deserves much more interest here. This is why I thank you. And you elaborated your love and attraction for this watch very well, too, I have to say. Best, Nicolas.
Imran - here's my mini review
The hands are a little thin and this is accentuated by the hands being creased down the middle. This means that only one facet of the hands catches the light making them appear even smaller. I'd have preferred slightly smaller indices of polished white go...
Having been brought up on 36mm...
...it takes some getting used to those large size DJs. However, overall I really like the 116300 except for the oversized indecis. However, I am not very optimistic that Rolex will sort that out. Apparently, they stopped producing the wonderful small inde...
The DJ is definitely an iconic Rolex
and thanks for posting yours. Here's my old 1600 for comparison, it's definitely very interesting to study the evolution of the watch in 40 years. ...
