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)
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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!)
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.
Romans on white dial with a smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet is a very good look in my opinion. Take your pick. Thomas's opinion, or anyone else's is not definitive.
That fluted motif they’ve been using elsewhere, for example for (very nice) hoardings covering up a Rolex shopfront under construction and for frosted window decoration at their service centres. I like it
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.
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
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.
One has the champagne dial, gold Roman numerals, gold Thunderbird bezel, gold and stainless steel oyster band. My other is champagne dial, diamond dust Roman numerals, diamond bezel, and gold and stainless steel oyster band. I’m very happy wearing either.
i have a DayDate 36 18249 Bark Finished in white gold with diamond markers, which i inherited from my dad..and i love wearing it everyday……beautiful watch.
Not a great fan of Rolex, but it is that cyclops that bugs me most on these models. I absolutely hate it, so all Datejusts come into the’F’ category for me. Prefer the Oyster Perpetual, but I wouldn’t go overboard.
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.
The Palm dial is probably a future A, maybe S tier I think. I could see collectors going crazy for it in 10-20yrs, as there is absolutely nothing like it in the DJ lineup. But at the moment I’m over it 😂
The quartz would be the only rolex that I would ever want to own. Unfortunately the case is horrible. It is a pity they did not just stick it into a standard oyster...
All Rolex DateJust look like each other.. But Turn -O- Graph is Rebellious.. Grade D really hurts.. I agree some of DateJusts are more handsome but Turn-O-Graph is unique.. Deserves upper grades...
4:24 “I love when companies use compelling natural materials” proceeds to then immediately list the most unnatural, complexly manufactured case material known to man. Ah yes. I love growing me some carbon fibre. Let me just go harvest from my carbon nano filament tree, and I can’t forget my epoxy resin bug!
The "fluted" dials are ugly in person, and not even that great in photos. The classic blue sunburst dial with fluted bezel on Jubilee is the way to go, preferably in the original 36mm size.

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

Same with the slate and rose gold.
Agreed, very disappointed in the motif being discontinued. I've been waiting for one since 2022.
@@ZimbabweWesh damn man, and now they are only gonna surge on the grey market which I vehemently despise
I agree. The fluted-motif looks amazing.
My fave datejust is the blue fluted motif, so that hurt.
The motif dial with fluted bezel and jubilee is probably the best date just configuration. S tier all day.

Seriously wimbledon C ?

LMAOOO turnograph D tier, you’re nuts bro

You may be right. And here we are, falling for it!
***suspicion intensifies***
I’m open to dial choice but my Datejust would have to have stick markers, a fluted bezel and a jubilee bracelet.
Is this a joke? Totally disagree. The motif dial are fabulous, the beaver tooth whimbledon a gag.
It’s is a joke. Wasted my time watching this boring and extremely inaccurate ranking.. He talks lots of bollocks.
I'm a big fan of the Roman numerals personally 👌🏼
Giving the Wimbledon a “C” is wild bro
Romans on white dial with a smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet is a very good look in my opinion. Take your pick. Thomas's opinion, or anyone else's is not definitive.
Reading through some of the comments….. this was always going to be a touchy and personal topic for some. Well executed. Happy Sunday! ❤😊
I've always been a fan of the old engine turned bezels. Liked it better than the fluted bezel.
Linen is by far my favourite. Many beautiful configurations, though.
Great video but no mention of my favourite, the tuxedo dial
How about tuxedo dial? My personal favorite.
Sorrry but the Wimbledon dial deserves an S or A classification! Pure class
100% agreed S tier
Fluted motif dials are the highest priced DJs on the secondary market, not an E rating.
That fluted motif they’ve been using elsewhere, for example for (very nice) hoardings covering up a Rolex shopfront under construction and for frosted window decoration at their service centres. I like it
Wimbledon is C??
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.
Boy oh boy... you've managed to not only diss my favourite DJ dials but also my Omega Railmaster denim dial. 😬😄
That fluted dial (on a smooth bezel) deserves higher placement.
Agree regarding the Roman numerals. Only the latest iteration on the platinum Daydate looks good.
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
I think the fluted dial will be dated AF in a few years.
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 video!! Rose-gold Wimbledon two-tone fluted on jubilee is got to be an S or at least an A!! Right??! It is in my book 🙌🏻👍🏻
VERY ACCURATE......
One has the champagne dial, gold Roman numerals, gold Thunderbird bezel, gold and stainless steel oyster band. My other is champagne dial, diamond dust Roman numerals, diamond bezel, and gold and stainless steel oyster band. I’m very happy wearing either.
Excellent assessment of these wonderful watches.
What about the ivory computer dial with Arabic numerals with fluted bezel?
An E for the blue fluted dial??? I feel personally attacked. It's so beautiful and wearable.
i have a DayDate 36 18249 Bark Finished in white gold with diamond markers, which i inherited from my dad..and i love wearing it everyday……beautiful watch.
I liked the blue motif dial with smoth becel.
Not a great fan of Rolex, but it is that cyclops that bugs me most on these models. I absolutely hate it, so all Datejusts come into the’F’ category for me. Prefer the Oyster Perpetual, but I wouldn’t go overboard.
Wimbledon, in 2 tone rose gold, fluted bezel is my fave DJ
I really enjoyed this video. Now just move the blue motif up to 'A' where it belongs and we can all get along : )
I want a DJ36 in rhodium dial fluted bezel/jubilee.
Wimbledon fluted Rosé Gold is S Tier
My favorite has got to be the 18kt burlwood dial datejust. Such a stunner
blue fluted dial is the nicest one to me
Roman numerals are gorgeous. That’s my quest!
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.

Denim shirt with casual blazer looks smashing. I bet you would be a cheap stylist ;)
@@nickfauss2135 touché 🤣🤣🤣
For all cuties rocking the fluted bezels keep doing you boo!
Also, this guys opinions are just that. It’s like like an a-hole everybody has one !
TO ALL THE UPSET COMMENTERS - It's an opinion-based video; don't be shocked if you disagree. That's showbiz, baby! 😎
I would bump the standard, palm and two tone up at least one notch each. Other than that, I pretty much agree! Don’t love the Buckley, though
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.
What about radial flipped Roman?
what about the ghost dial?
A=Antique all the C=Class
The Palm dial is probably a future A, maybe S tier I think. I could see collectors going crazy for it in 10-20yrs, as there is absolutely nothing like it in the DJ lineup. But at the moment I’m over it 😂
Hahaha nonsense blue and green motif are top tier
Have to disagree with you on some of these, but to each their own! What about the mint green dial? S tier obviously 💚
The quartz would be the only rolex that I would ever want to own.
Unfortunately the case is horrible. It is a pity they did not just stick it into a standard oyster...
They do need to bring back the honey comb dials
To rank the flutted bazel so low shows only not professional level of competences
The classic and maybe most bought luxury watch, a two tone datejust being a D is crazy
You forgot the Concentric dials....
My favourite would be the concentric dial.
Linen is class, all day, every day, S-tier!
I wonder why people call Rolex out as "boring" amd going for the safe bet; I didn't know they'd tried so many bold variations on this model alone 😂
You forget the wave dial 😂 but nice video
Gilt dial. wood dial. celebration dial, Tuxedo Dial, stone dials, logo dial, pinball dial, datejust ii,
The anniversary jubilee dial is definitely not an F
Love my 16220 since 1988
The champagne Jubilee dial getting an F is the worst one. In white or silver it has a completely more acceptable look.
2 tone yellow gold Wimbledon is at least A tier on either bracelet
No mint green???
All Rolex DateJust look like each other.. But Turn -O- Graph is Rebellious.. Grade D really hurts.. I agree some of DateJusts are more handsome but Turn-O-Graph is unique.. Deserves upper grades...
Blue linen Datejust is my grail watch
Where is mint green? Signature color of rolex
116234 super jubilee, blue Roman ❤
great video. The only one I was missing was the Tuxedo dial date just.
I hear that Rolex wearers are mugged quite frequently in London, UK now!
concentric dial 💜
Omg, 💯 agree
A bit disappointed to see my Wimbledon with a C 😅
The Wimbledon needs to be called the tampon.
What about the arabic dial ???
Worst ranking and review I’ve ever seen… Absolute waste of time!👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
But now everyone has these
4:24 “I love when companies use compelling natural materials” proceeds to then immediately list the most unnatural, complexly manufactured case material known to man. Ah yes. I love growing me some carbon fibre. Let me just go harvest from my carbon nano filament tree, and I can’t forget my epoxy resin bug!
Leave the romans alone, come on man!
Concentric rings is of course S+…

I give your ranking an F.
I could not get past the Roman numeral
Poor topic for the video, these varies from person to person.
NOT VERY ACCURATE……
That’s showbiz my guy
wearing denim button up shirt
never rate again 🗣
The S Tier watch is ugly
Vintage merchant
This video is F tier!
You started off great the fell off hard.
Love the video dislike your shirt wear a dress shirt
