Help me, please. Thinking about daily Rolex

Dear friends!
Help me, please.
I am searching for very comfortable, elegant, intelligent daily Rolex. I am 29, wearing suits everyday, working for the government sphere.
I have seen and tried a lot of watches. I liked Cartier Cle de, Ulysses Nardin Marine black carbon, Panerai Marine Due, JLC Ultra thin, but Rolex attracted my attention more.
So, that's why I am here.
What will be more suitable for me:
DJ 41 blue, OP 39 blue, DJ 36 blue, E1 39 mm black?
Or smth like Sub Date or no Date?
Many thanks!

The IQ on the DJ 41 is 67 and the DJ 36 is 54.

Can’t go wrong with a DJ41 as a suit daily wearer.

Agree, but the DJ 36 is smarter.

Explorer I - can't go wrong. If you have to have a date then the DJ 41 blue dial fluted bezel on a jubilee, beautiful watch.

Are they more comfortable as a daily than Exp1 or OP 39?

Bought one in September and it is quite comfortable. I am not of the opinion men today need to wear a leather strap on their business watch. The jubilee is dressy enough yet you can wear it with anything dressed down also. Go for it.

Stainless Sky Dweller - perfect for all things (except Chrono timing) but you’re not working out at the office :)

I don't want too shiny watch, I mean flutted bazel and jubilee bracelet. I have tried them all, they are all very amazing, but I can't realise which one will be more comfortable to wear daily. Maybe somebody has all of them in his collection. So I need pros and cons.

Explore one, 14270, or 114270. 36 mm. Very classy. Understated. If it’s too small for your wrist, 39 mm, 214270.

I agree. Explorer I gives you comfort of a DJ, but more sporty.

If you prefer a dressier look, then I vote DJ 36mm.

Here's mine :)

I had 36 mm DJ 116200 for about 2 years. For me it was too small, that is why 39, 40 or 41 size will be more suitable.
There was also a problem with the cyclope lens, it slightly faded and the date was hard to see. I don't know how to wear a watch neatly. It was very annoying. However, the new owner polished it.
That is why I'm slightly afraid of being in the same situation with the DJ41.

DJ41 Blue, if you are really worried about marks then go for the Black subc, pretty much bullet proof.

Those are all great choices and perfectly suitable for your needs. Nobody can say which will be most comfortable for you, go try them on, see how they feel and see what sings to you. Can’t make a bad decision out of that group though based on your needs.

The 36mm DJ is a classic and very comfortable, slips under your cuff and and into your pocket without catching. You seem to want to have a bit lower profile and the 41 does have an element of 'look at me!'. The 36mm says I've been around or 72 years and I don't need to impress anybody. :)

Watch Winders? Yes or No?

Do not need to use 1 of these if I'm only wearing at weekends? 🤔 Annoying having to keep resetting time/date !!

Read for and against.....so confused.

214270 Explorer, fits under the cuff nicely and can be elegant if need be or casual for that matter. My daily, however my DJ II get’s a bit jealous so I️ work him in on weekends. The Explorer will work nicely indeed.
