Incoming…Hard to pick between the combos

[JohnGingerwood]

Just arrived today. The DJ has always interested me but all the combos and sizes made it a hard decision. I guess I went with the conservative black but all of them are beautiful. Insanely more comfortable than the sub/explorer/SD I had.

What DJ combo did you pick?

Cheers!

Looks really nice

Like the smooth + jubilee combo. Black dial is underrated. It dances in the light. Congrats.

[marmite2005]

Congrats, lovely looking watch

[~Ocho1~]

I went with slate dial, fluted bezel & jubilee. I also liked the blue dial with the same bezel & bracelet, but ultimately went with slate since I liked the one I gave my wife so much. Now we have matching DJ's, lol. I really like the slate, as it fits my somber personality.





I'm also very interested now in the 2 tone, rose gold & steel, fluted bezel on oyster with the chocolate dial.

always stick markers, don't like the roman numerals.

That's beautiful, congratulations!

Your wrists look similar to mine, and this is a (largely) anonymous forum, so I'm just going to ask the weirdo question:
I worry about jubilee bracelets being uncomfortable and pulling hair. Is that a valid concern?

Congrats, that bright black dial looks so good in the sunlight.

I also love the jubilee/smooth combo.

Jubilee is very comfortable. Haven't had any hair pulling issues, lol

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion: I think we posted @ the same time b/c I wrote that to the OP and by coincidence you posted a nearly identical pic just as I was responding!

Love the smooth bezel and jubilee combo and am on the list for the white dial (41) in that configuration.

That said, I’m really liking the slate/fluted/jubilee above. Wow!

[Jackie Daytona]

Great watch! Congrats!

Yeah looks great. Can’t go wrong with any. The stick dial looks better imo but the Wimbledon and white dial with Roman looks beautiful.

Congrats your DJ looks fantastic, this is the configuration that called to me. Cheers to enjoying the journey

[yankeeromeo]

Fresh and clean combo

[colonelpurple]

You make a good point. The DJ is insanely comfortable. The 11.9mm thinness and 47.8 lug to lug of the 41mm model make it sublime

[Guppydriver]

Man OP. Now that is a watch that can be worn with anything. Shorts and T or black tie in a pinch. Timeless, comfortable, sporty yet elegant.

Well done

[ArtVandelay0]

36mm, silver dial, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel.

The quintessential datejust to me.

[TimeAZ]

very nice!! Smooth bezel + jubilee bracelet is such an amazing combo on the DJ. Basically any dial you get with that combo is perfection. congrats!

Thank you! You know I was wondering what all I can wear with this. I initially thought it’s a dress up type watch but it’s not. It can be casual in shorts and tee shirt easily.

Looks beautiful! I think we all agree the jubilee is the correct bracelet.

Like all those platinum day dates?

[Krash]

I went with the 41, silver, fluted on jubilee. I wanted to mix things up a bit. All my watches were either black or blue, so I went with silver.

Not a concern.

I have smooth with jubilee. Perfect for me.

[Watchsprings]

Fluted and jubilee are a great change of pace from my brushed, oyster sport watches.

[Cru Jones]

A great candidate for a one-watch collection! Very nice.

[KatGirl]

I went with Wimbledon TT, fluted on Oyster:



And

Mint green fluted on Jubilee:

There is something cool about doing the opposite thing: smooth bezel on jubilee, or fluted bezel on oyster. Either way makes for a very nice contrast.
Good choice!

All your Datejusts are beautiful in their own way! Thanks for posting.
Blue, jubilee and fluted for me, 36mm.
A few personal considerations:
Initially I tended towards the 41. The size would have been OK for my wrist, so i got on the list for a 41 mm with a slate dial, which exudes an elegant discretion, maybe in a more sophisticated way than the silver dial. I was still hesitant, though, and when i went to the AD for the umpteenth time to check wether it should be 41 or rather 36 after all, my wife tried several 36 on, and the more she tried, the more i became convinced that 36 was the way to go. Result : she got a 126231 and i got my 126234 a few weeks later. He AD switched from 41 to 36 without any hassles.
Talking of slate dials, hers is, and it is absolutely gorgeos in combination with the RG TT.
It's a shame that the plain slate is not available with stick indices (no Wimbledon for me) for the steel DJ in 36. If it had been, the choice between that one and the blue, that i eventually picked up, would not have been that easy.
Have a good day!
