You are buying a watch, not car insurance. I didn't use a spreadsheet to come to my choice. I just like it better than the others.

Imo, DJ36 looks more classic, but DJ41 is solid if you have a larger wrist maybe 7 to 7.5 inches, either watch you're getting a solid rolex

[ejvette]

Ditto on the DJ41

[JBoone]

I think that you would be happy with any of your choices. Try them all on, preferably more than once and pick the one that that looks and feels right. If close flip a coin . You will be happy with it

[dcrwoods]

considered the 39mm explorer? pretty clean. i'm not nuts about the oversized numerals but it's got a lot of positives in terms of simplicity without being boring, and excellent proportions.

Dj 36

[Ruud Van Driver]

Either DJ41 or 36. However, much will depend on your wrist size and shape i.e. is your wrist round or flat? As for which is more comfortable, then you'll need to try them on and see what works for you.

With the adjustment of the Glidelock on a Sub, they can be supremely comfortable.

DJ36 is too old school for a 29 year old. DJ41 is better.

You can never ever go wrong with a SubC LN or 114060 but neither are going to slip under sleeve's cuff.

There will be an update for Sub on Basel 18. No?

[Rocket_Man]

Go with the DJ41 but consider the fluted bezel and Oyster bracelet if you are worried about too much flash. Remember the DJ41 has the new 32xx movement with 70 hr power reserve among other improvements.

I think, that the update of the Sub will be available on the Basel 18. What do You think?

[GMT Aviator]

It’s got to be a Datejust. Be it 36, 41 or DJ2.

My preference is the baton dial DJ2’s with fluted, but there is so much choice in the DJ lineup you’re bound to find a model that sings to you.

[Spoonage]

All great choices. Just depends on what fits your wrist and budget the best. I went with an Explorer I as part of my collection. One DJ I like very much is a white dial Roman on a Jubilee. That’s a great looking watch.

[Iflylo]

I have the DJ41 fluted jubilee champagne dial. While I really like the watch it is an attention grabber. With you working in the govt sphere, don't know how much attention you want to grab..unless working along side Mr. Putin. He enjoys a nice watch!
If you can do without the date I recommend the explorer, light, comfortable, easy to wear, flys low but is also beautiful.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest this...and even so, what difference would it make?

[LJDUSOPEN]

Now that is a good looking watch

Very nice! Goes well with those Strands you are wearing :D.

May I ask what size is the watch and what size is your wrist?

Although it’s called DJ41, the actual diameter is 39mm. I liked the blue dial but thought Rhodium would be more versatile if I am wearing a black suit.

My wrist is 6.75”.

Thanks for your reply! I always avoid larger than 40mm but will try the DJ41 since you mention that the actual diameter is smaller than the name might indicate. My wrist is only 6.2 inches so I’m hoping it won’t be too large for me, especially since I’d be interested in the newer movement.

It will fit you just fine.

@6.75” wrists, my max case s she is 42mm and they fit just fine. Here’s an idea sample for comparison of 42mm on my 6.75” wrist.

Merry Xmas :)

Newer movements don't mean anything in daily life.

I can't imagine not going 36mm with your wrist size. Plus, 36mm is cooler, rather than trendy.

I love that grey rhodium dial!

[mikeps2006]

I would do DJ41

Try both DJ blue sizes on and whichever fits better is your new daily. You can not go wrong with that decision.

DJ41 seems to be the best option for you, in my opinion. In its simplest form (oyster, not fluted) it is an extremely smart looking and non-flashy watch.
