Hey guys,

I decided to pick up a DJ II for my 21st, but can't decide what to go for.
yg/ss
http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m116333-0003.html (the one I'm leaning towards)
http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m116333-0001.html

wg/ss
http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m116334-0007.html
http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m116334-0004.html

If the DJ II came with this face I'd take it in a heartbeat
http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m116233-0220.html

All in all, budget isn't too much of an issue, I love them all but am leaning towards this one.

this will be my first rolex so I'm wondering :

A) Whether to go for white gold or yellow gold.
B) Which of the above you prefer / think I should consider.

Thanks for your help!

The black roman dial looks great

No wrong decision; choose what you like the most!!! I have fluted bezel (WG) blue stick and I like being able to see the time in the dark so none of yours would be my personal choice but, it's not my monkey and not my circus.

Narbeh · 26 April 2016, 02:55 AM

fluted bezel, stainless/white gold, either dial. good luck.

I personally like WG for the weight and it goes with more than yellow gold. My old DJ was TT but now I like single color metal. SS is also good.

AboutTime · 26 April 2016, 03:05 AM

The SS/YG with black roman dial (the one you're leaning toward) is the one I chose.

beer · 26 April 2016, 03:07 AM

you probably know already but just in case you didn't, may help you decide

the SS / YG version has yellow gold center links, the "SS / WG" version only has a white gold bezel, the center links are polished steel (most people just call it SS)

vladamir15 · 26 April 2016, 05:46 AM

Go with the black roman imho, i got it and i love it!

Maiden · 26 April 2016, 06:14 AM

Since you are leaning towards two tone, why not wait a couple months until the new 41 hits the retailers. You can get it on an Oyster as well.

Muzz · 26 April 2016, 07:50 AM

For my 21st I would choose a SS WG bezel. That is quite the accomplishment!!!! Good luck in your choice, all are winners!!!

THC · 26 April 2016, 07:53 AM

Black Romans for sure...

tmehanna · 26 April 2016, 01:37 PM

Having owned 3 of the 4 models you're deciding among, I would recommend the rhodium two tone. It's very special and looks striking in certain light conditions. The black roman two tone looks better in pictures than in real life because the dial looks almost brown in direct light and it works better at night. The silver diamond dial lacks contrast, but there is a dark rhodium rhodium version that makes up for that.

KeithP · 26 April 2016, 01:54 PM

The one you are leaning toward is killer. Grab it and enjoy I say.
Maybe also consider the SS/YG with black Arabic dial. The numbers are lumed. Always nice to have that I think.

When you say black Roman, are you referring to the black numerals or the one im leaning towards? Which one is the rhodium two tone?
Thanks for the insight!

Rocket_Man · 26 April 2016, 05:29 PM

I'd wait for the DJ41 TT.

Yes, the black Roman is the one you are leaning towards and what I meant rhodium two tone is the second YG/SS model you posted which is actually called slate (not rhodium). Sorry.

aw662 · 26 April 2016, 06:40 PM

Personally, I was looking at getting the YG option (the first one you suggested) however, I was reminded of the fact that with the numerals I would struggle to tell the time in poor lighting. For that reason I went with the silver dial with fluted bezel.

I was looking at the new selection but it seems there are only a handful of watches. Which one are you suggesting to wait on?
