My fave datejust is the blue fluted motif, so that hurt.

@suhailchandhok 3 ай бұрын

Blue Motif on a Jubilee in E??? 😂 Sorry but that's really a let down on this list because that's an A for certain. Arguably the nicest after / with the Wimbledon and still one of the most sought after (especially after being discontinued)

@joshuakaplan5726 3 ай бұрын

I've got the DJ36 blue fluted-motif (fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet) and have to say the fluted-motif motifs are the best DJ dials of the past few years. Sad to see them discontinue them! Also a big fan of the tapestry and linen dials back from the 80s, especially that yellow gold two tone! And the white roman is clean and killer too.

He definitely under ranked it. Should be A tier for sure.

@joshuakaplan5726 3 ай бұрын

@@EspressoWatches totally agree. Fluted motif kicks so much ass. The blue isn't as loud as the green or gold but they all look the great Same with the slate and rose gold.

The motif dial with fluted bezel and jubilee is probably the best date just configuration. S tier all day.

@exitstrategy6744 3 ай бұрын

He uses the hottest dial for the click bait pic for the video **blue fluted motif dial** ADs had the most requests for that dial in the datejust line. Blue and green fluted Motif dials were super hard to get. "E" was on purpose because he knows he will get LOTS of comments, which the youtube algorithm loves.

No matter how many rolexes I see, the black stick dial, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet will always be my favorite one. It's such a classy, time-less/modern, clean watch.

@VMIyanks04 3 ай бұрын

A good buddy of mine has a fluted dial, fluted bezel on jubilee and it’s just stunning! That should be an A! Also, I’m a big fan of the Turn-O-Graph, that would be an A in my book too!

@scottlinton6577 3 ай бұрын

Fluted dial should be at least B tier, it was a great release for the Datejust, I know Rolex panned it early but I think it’s underrated (by your standards!)

@tayne5009 3 ай бұрын

Fluted motif dials are the highest priced DJs on the secondary market, not an E rating.

Absolutley love the fluted motif. Think they’ll become one of the most desirable collectables down the line. But I prefer the look with the oyster bracelet so its not too busy.

Great vid + presenter, I'll disagree with the pinstripe, personally feel it's lower. Bamboo looks great. I'm actually here after discovering Boiler Gauge dials, found them to be strikingly unique

@bayflowshow65 3 ай бұрын

I appreciate you going quick on my slate/smooth bezel/oyster bracelet boring ass Datejust. It was quick and painless. But honestly, there’s something unique about it since everyone else has to have a jubilee with a fluted bezel.

5:54 ironic for the guy in a denim shirt to hate on denim-looking dials. by the way, I know high-low juxtaposition is his thing (cartier on perlon, tec.), but that shirt and blazer simply don't go together. y'all looking to hire a stylist? I'm cheap. I like watches, I'd just do it for kicks.

Turn-o-graph should be higher, because it's the closest a timing bezel can get to a dress watch. I know that dressy people will judge it crude and sporty people will judge it blingy, I don't care. C or B, depending on reference.
