Thanks for the comment,
right - in the 80s/90s this 2-tone look really took off (I guess it was so, in the late 80s I was wearing diapers so I can't remember) and it is slowly coming back now. At first I thought the engine turned bezel would be less desireable than the fluted one, but seeing it in the metal I actually prefer it over the fluted. It just looks more "interresting" for a lack of a better word - there is just more going on compared to the symmetrical zig-zag pattern of the fluted bezel. Such a shame they stopped making them.
I finally bought a watch for my wifes Birthday,
after dealing with some sub-par choices for her watch to match with her yellow gold jewelery and "lending" her pieces out of my collection I thought time has come to reward her for the incredibly hard work and all the energy she puts into working part-tim...
Excellent choice... your wife will love it +++
I wore the 36mm version of that model DJ back in the 90's (...who didn't, right?) and really enjoyed it. IMHO the Rolex's gold engine turned bezels are a thing of beauty.

Great choice and thanks
for sharing, I am sure she will like it. Good luck hunting for the buckle and the perfect strap.
My pleasure,
I will also reach out to my Rolex AD - sometimes (and often the case with Rolex) the most obvious choices are also the safest and cheapest.
By reading your post, a special lady like yours deserves nothing but the best!
They don’t make them like that anymore! As for the watch, you have chosen wisely, I’m sure she’ll appreciate it! Good luck with the hunt…!🥂
I appreciate your feedback,
while I also like modern Rolex watches, these old pieces just have a certain elegance due to their case and dial design the modern iterations just can´t match.
Definitely, without all her support
and the fact that she always believed in me I would not stand where I am today. Many good decisions in my life were made because of her wise advices.
I´m very glad you liked my post. It was a great pleasure hunting this watch down,
the hunt ist big part of the fun of vintage watches.
Excellent choice
And lots of thought put into it. I think she’ll absolutely love it. 👍 I also got my wife a DJ. One for this past Christmas but it’s the steel/rose gold version. She loves it! ...
Wow, congratulations - a classy choice for your wife!
I bet she loves it, fits her wrist perfectly!
Thanks!
These are definitely classics that will give many good memories. Hope your wife enjoys and wears in good health!
