DJ41 fluted on oyster or smooth on jubilee?

I am legitimately torn here, I want to mix it up a bit from my normal sub line up.

Anyone have some pics of these configurations? Learning tword blue with Roman.

I’d like to see them in real life light.

I'd like to see a blue Roman as well. I think its lighter than the stick dial but not sure if it has a sunburst effect.

The jubilee/fluted is very sharp! I’d go that direction

If you want to mix it up from your Subs then you need to go full DJ, Fluted/Jubilee

I think DJ always looks best on Fluted/Jubilee. But I ended up getting smooth/oyster just because I thought this combo looked really nice on the DJ41 Blue Stick.

I think you'll know when you see it!

I have a SD43 and just recently bought the DJ 41 with Fluted/Jubilee. I love the complete opposite feel. Nice to have a difference in the collection, plus it’s amazing in person.

I went with Oyster. When I realized how much I loved the watch, I ordered the Jubilee as well...

I prefer the smooth on the jubilee. Something about that smooth bezel rubs me the right way.

For sportier look, go with smooth with oyster. Next step up to get a hint of glitter, get smooth with jubilee and and for the ultimate bling, go fluted on jubilee.

Then again, what do I know? I could not decide which one I like the most, so have three at the moment - Sundust, blue and silver dial. The blue dial one is getting the most wrist time nowadays.

I saw blue Azzuro few weeks back. My AD contacted me and said they just got one if I wanted to see (ordered blue or rhodium, which ever comes first, fluted, Oyster).
It is lighter blue than normal blue and no sun burst effect. It looks really nice but the lack of good lume was no go for me.
I like the feel of Oyster and I think it will suit me better, but AD told also that if I change my mind, they can order Jubilee, or even different color dial. I might end up buying Jubilee separate when the watch comes.

I think that one could go with either bracelet with the smooth bezel but with the fluted bezel, I think the jubilee looks much better.

I'm a huge fan of the Jubilee / Smooth combo. Seems to be the least common and has just the right amount of bling for me. I'm about 90% sure my next piece will be this one with a Rhodium dial.

I chose smooth on Jubilee.

My rationale was that I have plenty of dress watches (and I feel the fluted DJ is a dress watch) and plenty of sports watches on an Oyster. This combo sits in the middle and makes it a really useful piece.

I think it depends on what you will wear it for and what else you have. All combinations are great - the DJ41 is a spectacularly good watch.
