What DJ combo did you pick?

Cheers!

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!

I can see why it’s NOT available in that configuration. It would look too monochromatic. I think Rolex realized this. Your wife’s combo is gorgeous, because of the RG. Every time I see the Wimbledon in all SS, I have the same reaction. Even it needs the gold accents, whether RG or YG, to show off its complex slate dial. I’d be curious to know whether the plain SS Wimbledon is more popular than the TT. It may be, based on price alone. In short, any slate DJ needs the gold accents. It makes that watch! This is just my own theory and observation, of course.

Beautiful choices! And yes I think the fluted looks good with the oyster and smooth with the jubilee.

Congratulations Zach, the jubilee is just so comfortable isn’t it?

Congratulations. I prefer the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Probably silver/white/black dial.

OP asked, What DJ combo did you pick?

I didn't exactly get to pick mine. I had requested a different configuration a few months earlier (36mm SS, Blue Dial, Jubilee Bracelet, Smooth Bezel). On a random check-in/visit/chat with my SA, I mentioned that my two years clean and sober "anniversary" was rapidly coming up. To help me celebrate, she immediately chose this one for me and offered it. I thank my Higher Power for giving me the wisdom to pick it up right away!

I think she did me right , especially for the one watch daily wear person that I currently am (41mm SS, Mint Green Dial, Oyster Bracelet, Fluted Bezel).

I do love the Jubilee Bracelet. I aspire, daily, to be able to acquire another watch with one in about 3-4 years...

Have a great day, friends

Congrats on your sobriety.

That mint green is my favorite DJ color - I saw one when I was picking up my Explorer. My ideal DJ combo would be 36mm, mint green, fluted, jubilee.

Hey, thanks sir!

I genuinely wish you the best of luck in acquiring whatever combination your heart is set on!

Congrats!!!

Congrats! I went with the white dial, Oyster combo. I have a 1981 TT 36 DJ Jubilee with black dial and gold hands, bought new as a matching set with my wife's DJ. The new watch is my attempt at a "contrasting" DJ version compared to my original watch.

Highly accurate movement, very comfortable on the wrist. You'll be very happy with it.
