Hard to put into words. But try it on, check it out. It really catches the eye and it feels super.
Thank you Seth, and it is helping because I will definitely try it on...instead of discarding the option alltogether

If it had a Glidelock, I'd have one.

Stopped by to check them out today.

They didn't have the white dial, but hopefully soon.

So nice.

I don't know, Cru...the rhodium looks pretty good to me.

Was browsing Ben Bridge today and tried on some DJ41s. I completely fell for the two-tone YG with jubilee and champagne dial that Syed has posted above. The pictures don't do it justice. I've never been a fan of two-tone and that particular model has "Grandpa's watch" written all over it. And yet... I put it on and I was in love.

I also was caught by surprise by the DJ41- wasn't expecting to like it much, was about to pick up either a Milgauss or an Exp-1. Tried it on and was smitten.

Who you calling stupid?? 😉 I own 4 Datejusts, SS and TT, and thinking about a 5th.

Great thread, I have the Fluted Rhodium on Jubille in my sights. I've always been a sports model fan but after trying the new 39mm DJ 41 (???) I'm changing my thinking also.

I have had my DJ41 for 10 days and it is running at 0 error. That's with a combination of sitting on the dresser, on a winder, and wearing. I don't expect it to hold 0 permanently, but it does show it's a very accurate movement. I am impressed and pleased with it.

Wow! Mine is about three weeks and has maintained +1.8 for that period. Will reset on the 1st and see if it changes. Hats within Superlative COSC - and 99.998% accuracy so it's nothing to complain about. Good luck having a nil deviation! I wear mine all day every day except when I sleep :-)

Well if it is then I must be stupid, 'cos I have three!

All DJ2's, fluted. One blue dial, one white dial, and a TT Ivory dial. They're all beautiful in their own ways, and different enough from each other that I'm not bored of any of them.

Yeah I think I want another. So many to choose from you could probably create a whole collection of only Datejusts that was interesting and satisfying. Vintage, DJ41s, even throw some Day-Dates in there, why not?
