BLNR, great all around watch. DJ would not work as well in summer sports such as boating,skiing, pool time.

Very tough choice. Very different watches, but each equally appealing. I think it will depend on your everyday dress. Do you air more on the side of casual or formal?
While not the blue dial, here is a pic I took yesterday that may assist. |

I voted for the BLNR as it's the better all rounder as an only watch. Having said that, that DJ41 with the rhodium in that exact configuration looks amazing!

I dress more on the casual side and hobbies are outdoor sports and world travel

Sporty vs a little more dressy, flip a coin both are beautiful in their own way.

For an everyday watch I choose functionality over looks

DJ 41 works great in every situation as well... buy the one you are leaning to. Seldom is any choice exactly 50/50

I agree. I've wanted a Rolex since I was 21. I always wanted a datejust. I started at 34 years old with a 114060 then BLNR. October I turn 35 and by then I shall have the DJ41 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is the exact situation I am in (except I'm trading a 11610). Once I saw the DJ41 in the metal, I had to have one. Now waiting on my AD to source the blue one (jubilee, fluted, stick).

Once I saw the blue fluted dial on jubilee I was sold. I wanted to trade 114060 for a dj2 but nothing really like "wow" me. The new DJ41 totally "wow" me. It's a must for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It kind of depends on your collection but BLNR is probably the way I would go and I am in love with my new DJ41. The DJ41 would compliment the BLNR perfectly though. If you already have black dial I would get the blue dial.

If you are a watch one guy like me (at last for now) is say it depends on what you wear most of the time. Suits = DJ 41 if not BLNR. If I decide it's time to get a second watch I'll buy either the BLNR or the subc Daytona. Mind you I'm wearing my DJ 41 with my jeans since I chose to buy it with oyster bracelet for this reason

Tough choice. But the BLNR has a slight edge for me.

I would have a sporty ceramic as my one and only so BLNR first, then DJ41 an eager second.
