Rolex OysterDate vs Datejust?

[fulanito_uk]

Hi all, What are the main diffrences between the oysterDate and Dayejust? The OD looks more industrial/funcional where as the DJ looks more fancy... are the guts the same, where they marketed to the same people? Many thanks

Quite a few detail differences between 36mm DJ and 34mm OPD:

Dial and hand size.

Bezel and crystal size.

Crown size...DJ is 6.0mm, OPD is 5.3mm.

Stem is a bit shorter on OPD.

Lug spacing...20mm on DJ, 19mm on OPD.

Different bracelet and hoods where they connect to the case...DJ is 20mm, OPD is 19mm.

Different spring bars where bracelet attaches to the case.

Same movement and case wrench size.

Different case back gaskets.

 

Edit 11-20:

I saw OD vs DJ but figured the op wanted info on the OPD vs the DJ but if they want specs on a manual wind OD they can easily find them.

As for sapphire on DJ and acrylic on OPD...they both come either way. Manual wind OP comes only with acrylic.

 

I often bury myself in details while trying to help by answering questions and need to shut up.

There's a difference between an Oyster Perpetual Date, which is an auto and still in production; and an Oysterdate, which is a handwind and was discontinued in the early '80s.
