36 or 41?

Can't offer much advice on the 36 but having tried both colours on the dj41; I loved the black. It's more of a sunburst black than a solid colour and looks fantastic. Had a really tough time choosing between that and the blue (ultimately went blue because that was the wife-to-be's preference).

Can't go wrong with either colour though; I just prefer darker faced watches.

I like the white dial 36mm, fluted jubilee. Looks super clean, and while I'm sure both are very versatile, I feel that in this configuration white would handle casual a bit better than black.

Oh, and either way you go you get the roulette date wheel

One thing you may also want to consider though: The 36mm SS Datejusts are most likely getting the updated 3235 movement in less than a year. It may be worth it to wait. That's my tentative plan anyway.

If you don't mind me asking, you expect the result to be different this time?

Black is classic. White is a bit more subtle.

Black. More versatile imo only rhodium is more. White looks clean but if only one watch or a daily wearer Black for sure
