But you’ll learn that TRF members rarely like diamonds. Some do, not not the vast majority.

Not a huge fan of the fluted bezel. The 126300 is a classy, less frills watch

Diamonds automatically makes it a dress watch, and a bit showy, for a guy. If you dress casually most of the time, any stick dial combo is the answer, though I like fluted jubilee the best. Also, blue, rather than black.

Two tone, flutted bezel, jubilee … that says DJ to me

From a practical perspective oyster and smooth bezel are scratch magnets.

Always go jubilee and fluted where you have that choice, as you indeed do.

Old thread. Not really a fan of the fluted on the 36, but the smooth on the 41 is weird since it's flat and not domed, so fluted on the 41 IMO.

From your description of yourself, 126300 will be a better choice.

34 if non diamond hour markers, I tried the slate diamond and found it was a bit much for me. 00 otherwise.

I have diamonds version!

Nice choice! I also have a DJ with diamond markers, jubilee and a fluted bezel, and I wear it everyday. Even with jeans/casual, and dressed up as well. It's very versatile. Congrats!

At the moment, the role of watch for every day is performed TagHeuer Calibre 16 (black chronometer).

I have already decided on the model - this is Datejust 41 (it seems to me that this is a universal and recognizable watch).

But now I have another problem: choose a specific model. I choose between:
1) 126300 (Blue Dial, Index Hour Markers, Polished Stainless Steel Bezel, Jubilee Bracelet): looks simpler, less noticeable, Luminescent Hour Markers is convinient, but Polished Stainless Steel Bezel - can be a problem (scratches) ;
2) 126334: Black Dial, Diamond Hour Markers, Fluted Bezel, Oyster Bracelet - a brighter model, look good. But what about universality? Is this model suitable for ordinary clothing (jeans + T-shirt)?


A little about me: I'm 35, medium build, clothes - casual ( T-shirts / polo shirts / sweaters and jeans, sometimes a jacket and shirt).

I would be grateful for the help in choosing!

if you go with option 1, you could be better off choosing an OP 40mm, and save a few grand $$$.
