You have the RG Daytona already so I'd say DJ for a dress option.

As first Rolex I think Daytona is more versatile as it can be dressed up as well as down. Kinda like having two Rolex's in one:)

My two cents

er - what ever size and colour you want really as they are completely different. Surely the size and colour ( not forgetting the complications ) is what matters. Its like saying "I might buy a car or a bike, which one gets me to work"

There are so many variations with both of them as well. Black or white face, different dials for the dj2, if it was my choice I'm going daytona all day long!

These are two very different watches. The Daytona wears too small for me, go with the DJII.

You already have one of the very best versions of the Daytona, so I would say go for the DJ
