Which one do you prefer on your wrist? That’s the watch you should buy.

Yes, one is less expensive but you’ll regret buying the wrong one if you let the cost be the deciding factor.

DJ 41mm for me because of the proportions - but remember to each and every one of the proportions are a subjective area - same for dial colours, date no date, etc etc
My preference is jubilee paired fluted and oyster paired smooth and love the Rhodium dial (also love the silver)

Had the DJ2 and let it go. It’s too bloated. I’d say DJ41

The size and proportions of the DJ II and 41 are so very different. As stated, the II is more substantial feeling and sporty looking on the wrist while the 41 is slighter and dressier but by no means small as it has a bigger dial than than the 40mm sport models and same overall size.

I like the DJ II as a casual weekend watch but it wears large and the proportions are too sporty to work as a dress watch for me, but the 41 works perfectly as a dress watch IMHO. Yes, the DJ II has a larger bezel but my 41 sparkles just as much. I love my DJ II but if I had to choose only one, I’d have to go with the 41 because of its versatility and proportions, esp. given my average wrist size.

I had the DJ II Wimbledon dial. I’ll take the Wimbledon romans every day over the diamonds because the only diamonds I like are baguette cuts as used on the DD 40. Romans just exude class!

All of this is personal preference. You have to try them on and decide for yourself.
