I currently have a blue oyster steel 126300, and contemplating adding the Wimbledon slate dial with green romans, oyster steel 126300 too.

Imo the combination of smooth bezel and jubilee makes it a dress up and dress down watch

This is my feeling, too.

(Although I really wish the DJ41 would build up dial variety a little faster. I'd kill for a blue Roman or b/w tuxedo dial.)

I think the blue DJ41 would look more classic.

The blue dial with sticks is certainly a great choice, but you might also consider the rhodium dial which is certainly spectacular too (see the recent WatchTime article for a review of the DJ41). Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

The blue DJ41 will be the best choice.

I was contemplating the silver dial, a classic with full lume but decided to take a chance and try the slate roman (I believe its a shade lighter than rhodium) and I'm glad it did. The blue certainly seems to be a favorite. I'm not much help but just stating my preference but you can't go wrong with any choice.
Happy Choosing. .

Silver has a nice monochromatic look. Blue is gorgeous. If it were me, I’d go for the white since the date wheel matches

Blue is a big yawn....they are everywhere, and 90% of the time look like black. Like the other 30 watches in our safes. Silver, rhodium are a nice change of pace, and always look like the color they are named. I chose silver. Great legibility too.

Personally I'd pick the silver or the rhodium dial. I owned a 36 mm DJ with blue dial for a short while but quickly tired of the blue, which to my eyes was a rather bland shade of blue.

Here’s my white dial. A lot of great dial choices, but I wanted something that hat was very different from my black dial watches - and I’m loving it

Love that combo, might have to pick up one to go with my blue/smooth/oyster DJ41...

I’ll go with doctor A. Dresses up and down nicely and a modern look with a classic bracelet.

I love the blue but any of the colors are great on the DJ41. Enjoy.

My fave is the rhodium dial, smooth bezel, and jubilee bracelet.

I was split between the Rhodium and Black for a VERY long time. After much consideration, I chose Black. I always knew I wanted the Jubilee on a fluted bezel. After seeing the blk dial in the flesh, I preferred the contrast of the dial against the jubilee bracelet, when compared to the rhodium dial, which to me didn't create enough of a visual separation. Hope that makes sense?

Good explanation of what I went through as well. Though I’ve yet to see one in person, I think the white or silver would be my #2 choice.

Hard to say.

I love my silver dial.

But the blue is incredible.

Tough call.

I'm surprised but the white dial/fluted/jubilee is stunning.
