So, I'll preface this by saying my original intention joining this forum was to seek out a new insert for my 16710 while contemplating a new purchase to celebrate my birthday.

Well, I thought I knew what I wanted (DJ41) till I came across a Sub which has been my all time favorite watch since a child.

Of course for good measure...

Go for the Sub first then, and the DJ next, classic pairing, I had the same once.

I think the DJ is a good choice. It's enough of a sport watch for 99% of the population. It's more of a sport watch than the Sub is an office watch, put it that way.

I love the Sub. I currently have the GMTII and was looking for something a little different. I walked in with the intent to purchase the DJ41, but couldn't resist the Sub.

So I walked out to think which route to go!

SubC.

slide13 · 2 July 2017, 08:17 AM

I vote SubC but I'm biased because I chos that for myself as my one and only watch and I actively dislike the DJ41 (Datejusts should be 36mm for my taste...love those ones). So maybe not a fair judgement. But you said yourself it's been your favorite since you were a kid so why not do it?

You almost never hear someone who chooses the Sub and regrets it. I'm sure it happens, but seems pretty rare.

Good luck choosing; you can't go wrong!

I'm digging that model each time I look at it. Figured it would complement my GMTII nicely.

Dang, great GMT, but have you been sharpening your knives on that bezel insert?

mikkolopez · 2 July 2017, 10:50 AM

Was a true blue 36mm wearer till I tried the DJ41 on. Just right for me because if the flatter case than a DJ2 by a hair. The 70hr power reserve also got me.

In head v heart go for with the heart, luxury watches are an emotional buy.

Haha...no. I am extremely tough on my watch. I wear it every day hunt, fish, and shoot with it. I don't think I've ever not worn it since I bought it 15-16 yrs ago.

Always a fan of the Sub over the DJ41. The DJ41 doesn't do anything for me though.

JWE77 · 2 July 2017, 12:05 PM

Well, I decided on the DJ41! Just loved the dial and look. Figured it was my first choice from the beginning for a reason. Great looking piece!

I absolutely love the DJ - but had to have the Sub. It was more , well - Me.
Can't really go wrong - enjoy!

JWE77 · 2 July 2017, 12:59 PM

Well, I walked in intending on buying the DJ41 the first time. I was distracted slightly, but followed through on the return trip and picked up the DJ41 oyster with the rhodium dial.

I would go DJ New and later on... Sub previously loved.

Sorry for the double post. I didn't see the first post and thought maybe I forgot to press send. But, either way here it is...

Good choice.

travisb · 2 July 2017, 09:37 PM

That's my favorite dial option for the new 41. Congrats!
You can get a good deal on a pre-loved Sub down the road.

1William · 2 July 2017, 09:51 PM

Well, I'll say I I drew a couple of angry stares. As I went with the heart. I decided to return the DJ41 and go with the Sub. This has always been my fav watch as long as I remembered and had to go back for it.

Correct decision IMO, had mine for nearly five years and it gets the most wrist time.

Sub King · 3 July 2017, 06:36 AM

You definitely made the right decision. Congratulations
