Datejust II opinions: Blue dial fluted bezel vs silver dial domed bezel
Hi,

I am trying to decide, please help. Blue dial and fluted bezel seem the most popular but I suspect about the perpetuity. Silver dial domed bezel speaks better to me, but still need your opinion.

Fluted bezel all the way, for me that's what makes the datejust. And the blue looks smart.

I agree that fluted dial is quintessential DJ, so why that with a silver dial?

Welcome to TRF. They're two pretty different looking watches. My preference would be the blue but with a smooth bezel.

What do you mean by perpetuity?

If you're torn because the blue is more popular, but you like the silver dial better, heck, don't worry about what others think, you're the one that's going to be wearing it.

Silver dial looks classy. Blue looks good but would get old for me.

Disagree Larry, I think he should buy what I want not what he wants... who does he think he is?

Blue. Silver is too monochromatic.

Blue hands down. Silver nice too but it's not the same watch. Dome is SS. Fluted is WG.
