Congrats on the new Datejust. I bought my first Rolex Datejust at 30 years old in the early 90s. 36mm stainless steel with white gold fluted bezel, silver dial on jubilee bracelet. I wore that watch to work every day for 20 years before retiring it. Just a classic watch and one that will serve for just about anything you want to do. Wear it in good health.

Congrats to your DateJust and thanks for the nice review, you really bring over the passion and love you have for this watch. I have the same model with the slate dial and can absolutely comprehend the way you felt once you had it on your wrist the first time.

This is a beautiful watch, and I appreciate the reality you bring, plus all the information you give. I have been partial to the 36mm in the same configuration but with a blue dial, but have to say - the green is spectacular. Congratulations on your purchase!

Congrats on the Rolex. I just walked into my AD and picked one up with oyster and smooth bezel. I paid RRP for it too. The high shine of the bezel complements the shine of the areas on the oyster bracelet. It's extremely elegant and fantastic for the hubby's first Rolex. Note - I was offered as a walk-in because I've previously bought 2 others from my AD. Wear yours in great health.

Great review. It’s nice to see you’ve got your grail watch and you’re thrilled with it. Health to wear and enjoy for many years to come.

3:53 That smile when you got the exact configuration you wanted 😄. Congrats on your purchase! Your procrastination reminds me of myself aiming for the 2021 Speedmaster Professional and then falling in love with the newly released blue dial Speedmaster 57... the heart wants what it wants 😉

Absolutely stunning piece and great to hear about your experience, my budget isn't there quite there for a Rolex, but nice to hear the tips for shopping for one and refreshing to hear of an easy experience to pick one up.

I just bought this exact configuration and this video was a big reason why. The Green Dial, Smooth Bezel, and Jubilee Bracelet make for a clean and sophisticated timepiece that can be worn on all occasions. Congrats on your purchase and I'm excited to be joining you. Take care!

One of the best rolex reviews! Full of honesty and personal story behind it, especially the financing bit. Thank you!

Stunning! I’m on the list for the same watch but with the fluted bezel. I 100% agree no photos or videos do the green justice! Great video

So happy for you, my man! Congratulations! That’s an amazing watch!

I’ve had my steel datejust on jubilee since 1987. Daily wear from 87-08. Still going strong. Now it’s on rotation with a steel sub.

Just picked up mine with exactly the same configuration. Waited almost 1 year exactly from my AD which was fine for me. Love it 👌🏼

The Datejust are an Iconic Rolex . Purchased mine in December 2019 . Luckily the dealer had the model I want at another but Branch . Took 3 days to arrive , still my favourite watch in my procession .

Beautiful watch, and very enjoyable to listen to your review. Keep it up

thanks for great review. For sure smooth bezel is much better for daily use since fluted one is very shiny for some meetings, also fluted one does not reflect dial color as it deserves. well done choice, I am on the list of AD for same piece

I usually prefer fluted bezels with the jubilee bracelet, but I think this configuration has changed my mind

Love the review. Thank you for the transparency. I've had great experiences shopping at the Mall at Millennia so will consider their Mayors store for future purchases. Currently on the wait list for 2 models at the Mayors in Sarasota, and I can't say I've had the same experience you had.

Beautiful watch. I have recently acquired a 36mm black face DJ on the oyster bracelet that I prefer. For me I entirely agree that this is an iconic design. I loved the information about the internal mechanism. The DJ suits people of all ages. Simple but classy in every respect.

I love the date just. I have a 41 blue face date just on jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. I appreciate it every time I wear it and like you took a while to save.. I think that makes me appreciate it more.. well done on the Green. It’s stunning

I am on the (long) waiting list for a DateJust, and I have both the green and blue motif on order to test out both. I’m starting to think the smooth blue dial may be the best looking. And of course, I’ve ordered both on jubilee with fluted bezel. What colour should I go for? I like the blue motif, but will is still be desirable in years to come? Any advice or help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Great review. I have an appointment this coming weekend to put my name down for a datejust. I’m glad I’ve seen the green dial on here as pics on the site make it look very different

I am not a fan of Rolex watches BUT this is the best one I have ever seen. Beautiful. Love the color of that dial. Green dial. The simplicity of the whole watch is nice. Nice purchase!

Congratulations on your purchase, it’s a great watch. Datejust was my first Rolex - will never forget the day I first received it. Enjoy!!

Amazing, looking to get one for myself. Love the mint green color!

congratulations on your new watch, this was a captivating video. i can hear from how narrate the story on how much this means to you. lovely video

That's an incredible looking dial, congrats on your purchase! I've always wanted a Rolex Submariner. I saved up almost all of my wage each month (im a student who still lives at home which is how I was able to do that) and went to look at watches to buy myself for my 21st birthday in September of 2021. I ended up going into to Rolex Boutique in Glasgow and asked to get put on the waiting list for a few watches not expecting anything to come of it. I ended up getting a phone call less than 2 months later with my representative at the boutique to say that someone had pulled out of buying a DateJust 41 (blue dial, smooth bezel, and jubilee bracelet) and they offered it to me since it was for my 21st birthday. I went to see it and fell in love with it instantly. I feel like the DateJust doesn't get the appreciation it deserves until its actually seen in person. I actually think I prefer it to the submariner now because its not bulky like a dive watch is and it looks incredible in any setting. Definitely never getting rid of it. Brilliant buying experience with my representative whereas some of the other watch stores didn't take me seriously because of my age which was a bit off putting.

I love how you really go into depth on the user experience! I would love to see how you would compare the fit, finish and build quality of this vs a Christopher Ward diver. Planning on getting an Aquitaine GMT as my grail for now.

Congrats, love the mint green dial. I also own a DJ41 - a classic, timeless design, robust and highly accurate - plus it is the first watch I've owned where I can actually read the date!

Congrats, I went for the two tone yellow gold with the fluted bezel and the silver dial. Totally in love with the watch. ( love the mint dial btw )

Absolutely fabulous watch 👍 thanks good review

I absolutely love mine. I have the same exact watch except with the Oyster bracelet. I love both bracelets. Love, love, love the mint green dial. Pure Rolex perfection.

Im def going to save up for this model! Beautiful! Congrats

Congrats dude. Nice video. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Tip to anyone our there who is just starting out in Rolex. Stick to the classic designs and sizes produced by Rolex. Be patient and always buy from the AD. Don't but Rolex Datejust in size 41 unless you have a larger wrist. If you buy a Datejust try to buy the 36mm with either a silver dial, white dial or blue if you live a beach lifestyle. Buy the Datejust with a smooth bezel and an Oyster bracelet. You won't regret it.

I never considered a date just until this video, the rubber strap really changes it and could be a suitable substitute for the Explorer which I covet

That's my favorite configuration as well. It's beautiful - congratulations.

congratulations on your date just. im looking for the exact same model but open to dial colour. looks great enjoy

Congrats! my family and I got my dad a Rolex from that same Orlando boutique and they were fantastic with us too

I recently got the same watch with the oyster bracelet. Even though the configuration I wanted was with the jubilee. Once I saw that dial and tried it, was love at first sight. Great video

I signed up to the waitlist yesterday for the blue dial and the mint green datejust 36mm, I didn't specify the bracelet. I got told that I should have it in a few months. Also joined the waitlist for the 36mm Explorer with the waiting times expected to be 24 months.

Bravo. Stellar watch. I hope things cool off enough with Rolex at some point that I can actually walk into an AD and purchase something like this. I truly do want three different models of Rolex, but the hype causing inflated prices and other associated issues in purchasing recently have me not even bothering. You did very well, and it's a fine watch. Cheers mate.

Great review with really good presentation of the watch. Subscribed!

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your experience.

Congrats Sam! Enjoy it to the fullest.

Absolutely beautiful. That dial color is perfection. Enjoy!

Great video I enjoyed it thoroughly. Enjoy your new watch.

I actually never thought I liked the date just but after this. I was wrong. Beautiful watch. Thanks.

The mint green is incredible!

Congratulations on the purchase. I was lucky enough to walk into an AD and buy the 36mm version (with fluted bezel) without a waitlist back in June. I restrict myself to one ‘luxury watch’ and if I’m going to spend this much on a watch it needs to get 90% of my wrist time. As amazing as the watch was, unfortunately the ‘blinginess’ didn’t suit me and I don’t like the attention that the watch brought (this watch got more glances in 2 months than any others have in my 6 years of watch collecting!). The secondary value of the watch was the final nail in the coffin for the watch as I just couldn’t justify having such an expensive piece (even if I paid RRP). Sold it and bough bought a 114270 for half the price.

Just bought this for my wife , only waited 8 weeks . Bought from goldsmiths U.K. with no purchase history . They told me wait time could be up to 2 years . Turned up 2 months later . The wife loves it !

Absolutely stunning. That green dial is something special. I'm going to buy a Grand Seiko soon, but when the time is right, I plan/hope to get one day. The day I will proudly wear it in good faith without any need for reservations :)

Congrats, beautiful watch, have the same one in size 31 and love it.

Good review. Very nice watch and I love that Green dial. Good combo. I sold my Rhodium Dial DJ2 with white gold flute, 3 years ago. I have missed it ever since. I think steel DJ's are very good looking and versatile.

Wow amazing video, defo made the right choice on the mint green dial 👍 The only thing I would add is the fluted bezel to make it more shine. Just a quick question did you have any previous purchase history with the Rolex AD?

The mint green dial is spectacular!!

Great video & congratulations on the purchase!

Datejust is the best Rolex very classy and will never go out of style,thanks ❤️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I bought the same watch through the AD and paid retail. Absolutely love it and Tourneau Bucherer is the best (and largest) dealer to buy from.

wow it is certainly beautiful, idk why but I just have such a big thing for green dials, hopefully I can get one just like this one day

Congrats. Great watch but more importantly, you love it. Thanks for sharing the experience.

Youve given me hope. I live less than an hour from Millenia. I think ill make my way over and check out the AD. Of course ill have to wait longer since i want a Sub or GMT

You have a stunning watch there. I really like the smooth bezel/Jubilee bracelet combination. Classic watch. Great choice. Congratulations.

Great watch, that green color is absolutely stunning. I am interested in where you got the custom made green rubber band. I own an explorer reference 124270 and want to swap band to rubber but can’t find a good one.

That dial color is beautiful, great choice and excellent review!

I felt the same way about the cyclops. However, after seeing it in person, I feel the cyclops is an important part of Rolex watches and in my opinion, does not take away from the beauty of the watch. I just received my DJ 41 black. Its a beautiful watch.

I thought about waiting until late 2022 or next year to get the mint green DJ41, and also gave the (new to me) AD several options of dial color all on Oyster bracelet. When offered the blue dial only 3 days later, I jumped and am glad I did. While the green is stunning in a vacuum, it doesn't match or actually clashes with almost everything I wear.

Such a nice guy - a true watch lover!

Well done my friend! I lived a similar experience here in Switzerland at at the Bucherer store of Crans-Montana. The staff was just amazing and made me feel special. I bought my 41 mm mint green dial Datejust last July with the reversed configuration (Oyster bracelet with the other bezel ) and I just love that watch.

I just bought the exact same configuration - rolex watch 2023 :) luv the colour

Great reviews, DJ41 is really something :)

So happy for you. It does mean alot more to save up for some as opposed to being a top ten tennis player who just gifted them

I love my Datejust no regrets!👌🏼

I just bought two from the Caribbean in St. THOMAS. One steel with Jubilee bracelet and blue dial just gorgeous. Second one I purchased was jubilee bracelet, gold and steel with mother of pearl face and diamond markers. I love the size at 41 mm as I have a larger rest I like it better than the day date, which is only 40 mm to SMALL.

Beautiful piece!!!Enjoy!!!

It's lovely, but just imagine the Sky Dweller in that configuration... wow!!

What a beauty!, just stunning.

I love the date just, it's my favorite Rolex.

The datejust, blue dial, fluted bezel was my first Rolex, I feel guilty for not wearing it as much as I should after landing a Sub and a Skydweller. Still waiting on a green sub.

Not a Rolex fan but this is STUNNING.

Looks spectacular! Wondering where can I find a green band like yours?

Beautiful watch mate stunning I've had my interest registered for a rhodium dial date just and just bought an OP 41mm silver dial yesterday it's beautiful

I like the smooth bezel for the 41 and fluted on the 36. Definitely jubilee for both.

Hi, great video and have actually ordered the same watch ! The green rubber strap really suits it and I was just wondering coukd you please let me know what site you got that strap from? Thank you very much

That mint green is unreal. I prefer the fluted bezel but smooth is clean

Congrats... beautiful spec. My wife has exactly the same model but with fluted bezel in 36mm. It looks gorgeous

It is stunning! Congrats enjoyyy!

I really like the smooth bezel now that I look closely at your watch. I have several Datejusts with the fluted bezel but now I see the charm of the smooth look instead. Now I want one!!!!

This passes the test. My wife doesn’t give an f about watches and the only Rolex she ever thought looked good was the platinum Daytona. She liked this with the mint green dial. Beautiful watch. Well done: great video

Loving this new Rolex.

I bought the same one but in 36mm last month. Beautiful.

I received my first Rolex, 10/17/23 blue dial smooth bezel, oyster Datejust from AD , 11 months wait time , very happy to own it, 8050.00 plus tax 6% , great vid .

Love it.

I normally enjoy two tones but this piece is amazing

Beautiful, only thing I prefer is the fluted bezel. How did you magnetize a watch?

A beautiful watch mate,enjoy!!

Lovely watch mate , enjoy !

Sir, a great watch. Have you also seen the Seagull 1963 chrono?.........they hover NEW around $120 usd and are an incredible watch really thx Vin

I bought my wife an Omega Constellation from Mayors at Altamont springs ,I also love the store at the Florida mall ,I bought my chocolate dial with oyster bracelet it’s a beautiful watch ,thanks ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Great video! Where did you buy the rubber band?
