I own a 114060 and BLNR. I plan to add a DJ2/DJ41 before the year ends. Honestly the stick dials looks way better. Arabic numbers look too silly and dial looks too busy in my OPINION.

DJ2 with batons! I like the thicker batons as it gives it a sportier look

You can't beat the youthful and more sporty look on the DJ2.

These are mine and couldn't be happier....

Of the options you listed the DJ41 only because I'm not a fan of the Black arabic dial on the DJ2. Any of the stick dial DJ2 variants vs the DJ41 then you have a real "battle royal" on your hands.

I do prefer the stick, period.

The champagne is much more gold than champagne so if you want the gold to pop, get that.

The black dial was kind of disappointing because in some lights it faded to almost a brown color.

From current colors today, I would choose blue. Looking forward to seeing ivory. From your list, champagne.

Between these three TT models, I'd go for the arabics.

I have picked my datejust 41mm after trying it on a couple of nights ago. I am now smitten. Having gone from not being interested in this model to being very impressed.

Dark rhodium on a jubilee.

I just bought a DJ41 blue stick/Jubilee.
When looking at it I was also very impressed with the black looking /grey sunburst dial. Is that the rhodium?
At some angles it was jet black but the colour moved with the light . It was a WOW.

41 is definitely lighter and smaller than DJ2 so if you want that go for it, otherwise the thick baton DJ2 with oyster is definitely more sporty and less dressy.
Can't go wrong either way though.
