Rolex Datejust 41 - Let's see those dials!!

Am looking to purchase a TT Datejust 41 here in the next couple of weeks and am torn between silver or champagne dials? To me, both look great. I am also opting for the jubileee bracelet as opposed to the oyster on this particular model.

Would love to see some shots from those of you sporting a TT Datejust 41/Jubilee/Silver/Champagne dial -

This forum - it's gonna' be the death of me! Four Rolexes within a four month time period with (hopefully) a fifth on the way.

I know you asked for champagne or silver, but the chocolate has stolen my heart.

Between the two you listed, I would probably go silver.

Again, not the configuration you are looking for, chocolate dial with oyster but I thought I'd share anyway:

I can't help you...mine is black. As for choice in color I recommend silver. Champagne is beautiful too but less legible IMO. I think you will love the jubilee bracelet.....very comfortable and the easylink clasp is much appreciated when you need a quick adjustment.

So with the Jubilee on this model, it's the easy link and not the glide lock, correct?

Between those two I'd have to say champagne. It was a toss up between champagne or chocolate for me but the chocolate won out.

Considering this but with stardust dial to replace my DJII rhodium. Thought I'd go back to fluted bezel but actually when I visited AD and saw the Everose smooth bezel I kinda liked that, little less sparkle and maybe just a tad under the radar....but let's face it, it's not a stealth look is it :)

What I did find was that the case sits different to the DJII. Felt lighter, and those thinner lugs just felt overall comfy. Also, I've heard them described like someone photoshopped a 36mm to 41 and that was a great way to explain it, it just looks more balanced with thinner bezel and lume, also I'm sure that crown looked a tad larger and more in proportion.

I tried a variation before making a decision which was tough; fluted with jubilee, smooth with oyster and went somewhat in the middle with fluted and oyster as this suited me best, but all were lovely.

PICT. In the daylight does the Everose standout much? In the light in my Ad and when I saw it outside in low light the Everose wasn't massively noticeable almost more like SS with a slight reflection of skin tone. What do you think of the Everose...only asking as assuming this is the newer Everose without the platinum in it, so wonder if it's different to the previous colours.

I agree, I also think daylight tones it down considerably as in the previous photo, of course it will vary on daylight brightness, here it is under artificial light:

Yes can look like SS often in daylight.
