DATEJUST or DAYDATE ?
 

Which do you prefer and why

Daydate, seeing how I don't work set days or hours anymore I don't remember what day it is sometimes so having it on my watch helps.

Other then that I don't see much difference between them as either one is understated elegance. Of course some still make them look ghetto with diamond bezels and that sorta crap.

think the biggest difference is the day on it right?

Got a datejust myself but never missed having the day on it...

I think the datejust is cleaner .

true, a nice steel one is always classy:thumbsup

Mine is datejust.

are you happy with it ?

about about a 13-25k difference in price depending on what metal you get. The day date is a much more higher end watch.

what makes it higher end?

Day Date is the Rolex Presidential, made with 18K gold, it's a status symbol:thumbsup

Out of those options the datejust is best. I think Cartier is a better looking classic option

I just sold a day date. I never used it. Heavy and clunky.

I've never liked either one. I love the look of the two-tone submariner, I picked one up last year.

A bit classy is still the GMT, looks sharp IMO. or I'd check out the Milgauss.

If you were going between the two, Id say Day Date because nothing says true :pimp then having the day of the week and the day of the month on your wrist :thumbsup

Make sure to buy a winder, it will be a great $70 investment. I found a great one on Amazon that has specific settings of RPD for their watches, I can send you the link if your interested.

datejust definetly

As far as I know both of the ones I posted above are 18K gold with presedential bands :-)
The only dif I can see if one has the DAY above the rolex logo and it kinda looks less clean to me.

Am I mistaken?

One you can buy in all gold, rose gold or platinum where the datejust is either stainless steal or 2 tine stainless and gold.

You can see the difference in the price.

A stainless steel datejust you can get in tye 2k range. Daydayes are 5 figures +

I've had a submariner for the last 15 plus years and really like it.

I dont think they make datejust in all gold, and if its has presidentail band its not original. The datejust comes with either oyster or jubilee band. Jubilee is similar to presidential band but with more holes (best way to explain). The oyster is a similar band to the rolex daytona

Prefer the DateJust.

I have a ladies datejust and a Yacht-Master.

The one I posted above is 18k band I think it aftermarket

I am not a big fan of either models, then again, I am not a huge Rolex fan in general. If I ever buy a rolex it will be a Daytona

Gold watches by and large are ostentatious and tacky. People who are more interested in status and less in horology buy gold Rolex watches.

My daily wearer is a Sinn U2

Seriously save your cash. They don't go up in value and less people are into watches so the market is dying. I would just get a nicer car and piss the cash a way that way.

You are completely clueless. Gold has gone up extremely in value. If you baught a gold day date 10 years ago you are probably up atleast 30-50 percent just on the value of the gold alone. I paid 1800 for a used ss datejust about 15 years ago. I can now sell it for more then 22 2300. You could have baught ss daytonas 7-8 years ago for about 8500. Trying getting one now for less theb 11-11.5k .

I would not buy anything rolex aftermarket. Yes the gold is worth money but it will devalue the watch itself. If you go rolex stick with original equipment or buy timex

That is the whole point lol. Why else would I be looking at solid gold watches? :thumbsup

Anyone who says things like this guy does really just knows nothing about watching. Ofcourse a gold day date is a status symbol. Its a 20k watch.

They are great watches that have done nothing but increase in value over the years. It is a timeless classic.

This is the datejust site. As I said. It does not come in Gold with the presidential band. Thats a photoshop of a daydate without the date, or a fake rolex.

You can also buy the day date in white gold or platinum ( since platinum is less then gold now I believe ).

In particular this is my favorite watch right now. Rolex Yachtmaster 2

They one I posted I was told is from the 60's. Not sure if its fake or what.

Jubilee Band. Not president band.
