Through the years, there are some things that just shout ‘success’. A Cadillac. A Malibu beach bungalow. Clothing by Ralph Lauren. And Rolex Datejust watches.
And few Rolex models offer the panache or first-glance impressiveness more than the Datejust model. Sure, there are other well-recognized Rolexes ‘ the Daytona, Explorer II, GMT-Master II, Submariner, Yacht-Master, to name a few. And, the price of a Datejust aside, there certainly are more flamboyant, expensive models, too.
However, the Datejust might just be the most easily-identifiable Rolex model sold. It’s old school ‘ it’s been around seemingly forever. As it’s not a new model, aspiring Rolex wearers have been dreaming and creating schemes to acquire one for decades.
Is it the date display that’s unmistakably visible through the special Cyclops magnifying lens? This model, first introduced in 1945, was the very first wristwatch featuring any sort of display of date.
Is it the Jubilee bracelet? Multiple rows of two links bookending three smaller links are held firm by the impressive clasp mistakably make it a Rolex.
Perhaps it’s the Gold Crown found at 12 o’clock on the dial. No other watchmaker puts such a distinctive symbol on its watch. And everyone knows this crown and what it represents.
Is it the watch’s self-winding hand movement or its craftsmanship? You know about the watch’s durability and need never to be wound.
Whatever the reason, you realize its beauty and excellent craftsmanship from the first moment you see it. The Jubilee-style steel bracelet links together in classic fashion. The watch wraps your wrist with a solid feel that bespeaks superiority and style.
Concentric circles and a glowing blue-colored dial lend an understated style to the watch. You know it’s a Rolex just from the dial’s configuration. Too, the numerals give it away. Some model Rolexes have Roman numerals on the dial for sophistication. Not so with the Datejust. Not only does it have Arabic numbers, but they’re displayed in a font that is easily identifiable with the model.
When you first wear a Rolex Datejust, you stare for long moments on end at the second-hand as it moves around the dial. It glides effortlessly and silently. It’s perpetually moving, hypnotic and exclusive to Rolex.
Another of the watch’s features is its resistance to water, which is down to about 330 feet, or about 100 meters. Other watches are also resistant to the same depth. But because they are much less well-made, you never know if you ever want to put it to the test.
Just a moment with this watch on your wrist, though, and you know Rolex can fulfill this claim. You know, without fail, it will run at those depths. And you even suspect it works even deeper. You are confident nothing is impossible with this watch.
You have confidence in yourself. You have confidence in your watch, in how it will present itself, and you, to others. It’s bold yet understated. People will crane their necks to catch a glance of it. You’ll just have to learn when to ignore those looks and when to respond to them.
In essence, confidence is what it means to wear the Rolex Datejust. Confidence in yourself and in your success, future and past. This is unique to wearers of Rolexes that others can never know until they own one.
Traditionally, few things in the material world reflect sophistication more than a Rolex Datejust. A Mercedes, Beverly Hills residence, Louis Vuitton handbags, Armani attire. More info on used Rolex Datejust for sale .
