Buyer remorse???

[Roddypeepa]

In a decade the DJ will still be timeless. The op egg yolk yellow, red, poofter blue etc will be niche. You made a wise choice OP.

Thank you I appreciate your kind feedback. I think it maybe the blingy appearance of the bezel I am not use too. I’ll give this a a chance and will see where it goes!

No problem, I went to a Franciscan parish for quite a while. Enjoy your DJ!! BTW, my opinions aren't always mainstream but they're what I really feel.

Just adding another shot of the incoming hideous OP41!!! (taken from Hodinkee.) I've been looking for one since the beginning of September and the 39mm before that. What has made these so unobtainable? I suspect it's price!!

Look, to appreciate the DJ fluted bezel, you have to like and appreciate a “blingy” appearance. If you don’t like it, it may simply not work for you. I love it, but some don’t

Judging from your attire the dj will suit you more. It looks sexy as F on your wrist btw

I agree; not every watch is for everyone; I like what many others don't and vice versa. Much better to wear what you love!!!

Nice and simple! I have been wearing Panerai's since 2004 and have been transitioning to Rolex, I got an SD43 last year and I thought I'll add a dress watch since I really don't have, I may get use to the blingy aspect of it. Will see

It’s beautiful, wear it in good health and if you want to unload it and get the OP let me know, I’d buy it in a sec

I like Panerais although most are a bit large for me; I've looked at some earlier models at 40mm which I really like.

As was indicated above, you'd have no difficulty selling the blue DJ if you wanted although sourcing a 41mm OP isn't really easy (just as with the blue DJ that you have). Your watch is beautiful and I'd almost make a trade with you but I've owned a blue one before and I'm trying not to retrace my steps!!! I hope your Sunday was good and that you have a great week coming up!!!

Congrats Lee,,,
Only one of the new OPs that I really like,,l
That silver is gonna give off some lovely shades I imagine,,

[Oxfordian]

Buy the watch you want, if that means a wait then so be it, wait.

You have bought a real beauty in the DJ, as many have said a timeless classic that looks great on your wrist.

But we are not you and if the DJ doesn't sing to you then regrettably you have bought the wrong watch.

Go back and chat with the AD and see if they can help you out, if not you will have to sell it and wait for the OP that you really want.

[LazySumday]

Maybe you should look for a DJ with smooth bezel. I did not really care for the fluted bezel in the 41mm DJ (not that the AD had any to sell anyways). Something about the width of the 41mm flutes makes it less appealing to me than the smooth bezel. Purchased a white DJ smooth bezel and it feels perfect.

Seems to me you want a less formal watch is all. Get what you want... sell what you do want.

A DJ is overhyped ? I guess Airkings and Cellinis are the only viable underhyped options at this point.

That blue dial sure is!

[Boopie]

That looks great on you.

Obviously it’s personal style, but I’m a woman and with my skin tone and wardrobe, as much as a pink, coral red, bright blue etc dial looks fun, I don’t think any of the “hot” dial watches would go well with my clothes and wouldn’t last the test of time, for me.

There is a reason fashion watches exist. It’s not meant to be derisive. Some clothes I buy because they will be classics, and I’m willing to spend more because they will be around in my closet for a while. Other clothes are just trendier and more “fun,” with a shorter “shelf life,” but I’m not going to spend a ton of money on those clothes. Unless the yellow or red colors are absolutely your favorite colors (as they may be), I would find a fashion watch with the dial color you like. See if that scratches your itch.

Some people have a lot of $$ for multiple watches depending on wardrobe color and/or would sell one of the hot-dialed watches when they tire of it. Again, nothing against those who are, but I’m not in that category.

[watchaser]

I’m going to go with the many. Don’t fall for the hype. Op41 fun pieces at retail. Your dj is beautiful. Just because it has a jubilee and fluted doesn’t mean it can’t be a causal fun piece. I wear my 126334 diamond dial with tshirt and shorts and I could care less what anyone thinks.

Go enjoy your new watch.

[hutch300]

I'll say that if I have to think this hard I always feel its not for me. I thought that I really wanted a Sea Dweller. I purchased one that could not have been more perfect. After a week it was clear to me I wasn't into it like I expected and liked my Subs more. I sold it quickly (at a loss) and could not have been happier. These watches are easy to unload if that is what you want to do.

Thank you for the insight, Red happens to be my favorite color. I will give it couple weeks and wear it more, will see where it goes.

[rustyyas]

Beautiful watch and it will go with any outfit, good choice.

[Houston77]

I sold my blue dial DJ41. To date, it’s the only watch I regret selling. Don’t make any rash decisions, haha.
