Blue for sunburst dial and better contrast to the surrounding wg bezel and ss case and bracelet. Good luck. My favorite DJ is 41mm blue dial fluted on jubilee.

With little doubt, white dial Jubilee datejust41 is a stunning piece... and very nicely priced with steel on steel.

White because the date wheel matches.

Are you going white sticks or Romans?

Just got this over the weekend. Can't go wrong with either. I find the white to be dressier...

Get the white. Every man should have a white datejust in their collection. It’s just so classy and crisp. You’re going to love it!

I have a 41 wimbledon on oyster it's so comfy I've been thinking of adding a white stick on jubilee. This is the azzurro (looks brighter)which I would have to see to compare if I was considering blue. Again, happy choosing.

Blue more popular. White more unique and works great in your collection as it will certainly have a purpose.

I personally like white and black, so I am bias, but wouldn’t hate either decision. You are getting it right with the flutted jubilee combo!

I have the blue, it is stunning.. but I do like white dials. I have tried on the DJ41 white in the AD. It is very nice

It's a tough call but I'm gonna have to say BLUE . . . although I'm not you

The blue is striking and will wear a little smaller out of the two.
The classic Rolex white dial is different and will wear larger on the wrist.

Get the one that suits your wrist size best.

I have too many black dials, so i acquired a white 41mm Roman Dial recently. Beautiful and so much easier to read.

Rolex makes one of the best blue dials in the business IMO.

The sunburst blue would be my choice between the two

Freaking Amazing! Love the blue dial- jubilee fluted beZel!

How big of a difference can you ultimately tell between 36/41?

The DJ 41 is more like a 39mm. I love the way the blue color changes according to the light. :)

Although I've done it before thinking one color over the other would help balance my collection more, like oh too many black or whatever. Now I just buy the color of dial I like best in the model thinking I only wear one at a time anyway. I'm looking at a piece now and although blue is the most popular and it is a beauty, but I like the black more, also a beauty, so I'm sticking to it even though most of my other pieces are black dials. Buy what 'you' love..

Both are fantastic, but I wear my blue DJ every day. Never owned a white one.

The Blue is gorgeous, but based off your collection, get the white.
